Abstract

A second year (Package 11) project dissertation. Project paper (Doctor of Medicine(MD)) - Universiti Putra Malaysia, 2013. Background: Intracranial bleeding is a serious public health problem [1] and an important consequence of traumatic brain injury and believed to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world for individuals under the age of45 [2]. Aims: To determine the association between intracranial bleeding (ICB) on plain CT brain with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) among traumatic brain patients in Hospital Serdang. Methods: This was a cross sectional study using secondary data which involved all adult patients of the age group of 18 and above who undergo plain head computed tomography (CT) examination in Hospital Serdang following head trauma from January 2011 to December 2012. Data from their medical reports were recorded and analysed. Results: From our study, the only significant p-value is for intraventricular haemorrhage with 0.019. Meanwhile, the other ICBs do not have significant value. For the association between epidural haemorrhage (EPH) and GCS, the p-value is 0.237. For association between subdural haemorrhage (SOH) and GCS, the p-value was 0.495. Meanwhile, for the association between subarachnoid (SAH) and intraparenchymal haemorrhage (IPH) with GCS, the p-value obtained was 0.233 and 0.062 respectively. The p-value was 1.000 for the association between diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and GCS. Overall, there was no significant association between EPH, SDH, SAH, IPH and DAI with Glasgow Coma Scale except for IVH. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study shows that most of intracranial bleeding did not have significant association with Glasgow Coma Scale except for intraventricular haemorrhage. Overall, the null hypothesis is not rejected. Keywords: Intracranial bleeding, traumatic brain injury, Glasgow Coma Scale, CT scan
