ABSTRACT

An analysis of 103 is done. They were studied 103 patient from one month to 16 years with head injury all of them were studied by scales of qualifications of Glasgow of and of Morray for severity of the neurology alteration. Qualification were done whit Glasgow modified. The qualification Glasgow through the initial appraisal of income, the interval and that at the end of the total of the patient was: To the income a value of 0.96 was obtained ± 0.1 with a n = 103; the interval was a value of 0.98 ± 0.06 with a n = 102. At this time alone a sample of a total of 102 patient was considered by the desease of one of them. To the end they had a value of 0.99 ± 0.02. With a n = 102. There was no difference statistical significant through the analysis of Variance (ANOVA). In the value at the end, decrease of the dispersion of the data.
The qualification of Morray was observed: to at arrival with a value of 0.97 ± 0.09 with a n = 103: the Interval with a value of 0.99 ± 0.01 with a n = 102. Neither a significant statistical difference through the analysis was found with variance analysis and did neither register a decrease very marked of the dispersion of the data in the value at the end of the study in this patients.
In the case of the special group formed by all those patient that presented alteration in its state of consciousness, all were hospitaliced for its care in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
In this group were included 16 patient, the Glasgow scale. In this group, at the begining o the study a value of 0.80 was obtained ± 0.22; and the intermediate qualification went with a value of 0.86 ± 0.21; and at the end of the study of 0.97 ± 0.06. There was statistical difference among the three groups in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) with an F of 3.6 and a P ‹ 0.001. The fundamental differences were seen among the income and the end of the study with student t.
Conclusions: We have found that the Glasgow scale turns out to be as good in the evaluation of these patient as the qualification of Morray.
