頭部外傷データバンク【プロジェクト2009】の概略

抄録

A 2-year study (Japan Neurotrauma Data Bank: JNTDB) for 1,091 cases of traumatic brain injuries was conducted from 2009 to 2011. Twenty two emergency medical centers took part in the study and it was called Project 2009. Patients with severe head injury were eligible for entry with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8 or less at admission. Patients who underwent craniotomy were also included. Data entry form with 208 items were created originally from multi-factorial view points. The results show that patient's age and mechanism of injury are the most important factors in the outcome. Also, we can see a strong influence of the changes in our country, so-called rapid aging population, compared with the result of Project 1998, or that of 2004 , conducted before.
