Correlation between @entity1003 and outcome in severe XXXX in neurointensive care and @entity130 units.

@entity1545 @entity1 @entity542 @entity1003 @entity772 @entity130
BACKGROUND: Abnormal @entity1003 after traumatic @entity1545 is a common finding. Some studies have proposed these changes as useful predictors of outcome in @entity1 with @entity542 . This study aimed at evaluating the association of the routine tests of @entity1003 within the first hours after severe @entity542 with prognosis of @entity1 with severe @entity542 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 52 @entity1 with severe @entity542 (Glasgow @entity772 Scale [GCS],  <=8) were admitted at Tabriz University Hospital for 1 year. @entity1 with major accompanying @entity130 were excluded. On admission, serum levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit as well as the platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), and international normalized ratio (INR) were documented. The relation between these parameters with final outcome and also with GCS at admission, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 1 week after admission and discharge time and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) were studied. RESULTS: Thirty three @entity1 were discharged, and 19 died. There were significant negative correlations between PT, PTT, and INR with all GCS and GOS scores. These correlations were significant and positive between the platelet count and all GCS and GOS scores. Median PT, PTT, and INR were significantly higher in nonsurvivors. Median serum platelets count was significantly lower in nonsurvivors. CONCLUSION: On-admission PT, PTT, INR and platelet count may be used as predictors of outcome and prognosis of @entity1 with severe @entity542 .
