[Correlation of clinical signs with the outcome of craniocerebral trauma].
Clinical manifestations were correlated with head trauma (HT) outcomes using computer software MEDSTAT-85. Neuro-ophthalmologic signs, motor and vital disorders had maximal prognostic values. Outcome was highly correlated with consciousness disorders phase scaling and patients' state scores (PSS) as well as with coma and consciousness disorders length suggesting that these parameters are of major prognostic importance. A close correlation was found between consciousness states, PSS and HT variants, brain lesion forms, vital and somatic disorders indicating their role as determinants of HT outcome.
