BACKGROUND: Prediction of clinical course and outcome after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important. %26lt;br%26gt;OBJECTIVE: To examine whether clinical scales (Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS], Injury Severity Score [ISS], and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II [APACHE II]) or radiographic scales based on admission computed tomography (Marshall and Rotterdam) were associated with intensive care unit (ICU) physiology (intracranial pressure [ICP], brain tissue oxygen tension [Pbto(2)]), and clinical outcome after severe TBI. %26lt;br%26gt;METHODS: One hundred one patients (median age, 41.0 years; interquartile range [26-55]) with severe TBI who had ICP and Pbto(2) monitoring were identified. The relationship between admission GCS, ISS, APACHE II, Marshall and Rotterdam scores and ICP, Pbto(2), and outcome was examined by using mixed-effects models and logistic regression. %26lt;br%26gt;RESULTS: Median (25%-75% interquartile range) admission GCS and APACHE II without GCS scores were 3.0 (3-7) and 11.0 (8-13), respectively. Marshall and Rotterdam scores were 3.0 (3-5) and 4.0 (4-5). Mean ICP and Pbto(2) during the patients%26apos; ICU course were 15.5 +/- 10.7 mm Hg and 29.9 +/- 10.8 mm Hg, respectively. Three-month mortality was 37.6%. Admission GCS was not associated with mortality. APACHE II (P = .003), APACHE-non-GCS (P = .004), Marshall (P %26lt; .001), and Rotterdam scores (P %26lt; .001) were associated with mortality. No relationship between GCS, ISS, Marshall, or Rotterdam scores and subsequent ICP or Pbto(2) was observed. The APACHE II score was inversely associated with median Pbto(2) (P = .03) and minimum Pbto(2) (P = .008) and had a stronger correlation with amount of time of reduced Pbto(2). %26lt;br%26gt;CONCLUSION: Following severe TBI, factors associated with outcome may not always predict a patient%26apos;s ICU course and, in particular, intracranial physiology.
