TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Prognostic factors in craniocerebral trauma without primary surgically correctable space occupying lesion JO - Zeitschrift fur Unfallchirurgie und Versicherungsmedizin A1 - Middendorp, J. A1 - Künzi, W. SP - 20 EP - 24 VL - 84 IS - 1 N2 - By means of a retrospective study involving 154 patients with diffuse brain injury, we could show, that simple factors, like coexisting injuries, pupil abnormalities and the Glasgow coma scale, allow us to assess the prognosis of patients outcome a short time after trauma. This prognosis is further modified by cerebral perfusion pressure and secondary pupil abnormalities. The prognostic value of an EEG and a SEP is the same for both methods and was found to be correct in about 2/3 of all cases.
