Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine associated factors with lethal outcome also prediction of it in case of acute subdural hematoma (ASH) after isolated traumatic brain injury (ITBI). Methods: Retrospective analysis of 162 patients with ASH after ITBI treated in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit in Hospital Kaunas Clinics of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences during two years was carried out. Results: Sixty–seven patients (41%) of 162 have died with ASH after ITBI. Twelve patients (31%) of 39 have died in age group of = 65 years, p = 10.1 x 10 9/l, p = 5.6 mmol/l, p = 16, p 25%, p < 0.001 (0.95CI: 0.53 – 0.74) and prognostic test sensitivity was found to be 78%, specificity 76%. Conclusions: The mortality rate of acute subdural hematoma after isolated traumatic brain injury was 41%. Factors associated with lethal outcome were e. [...].
