Abstract:Objective To screen prognostic predictors in patients undergoing general anesthesia and neurosurgery. Methods From April to May 2013, a total of 505 patients who were enrolled in Xiangya hospital were enrolled in this study. Clinical data including basic data (age, gender, etiology, procedure type, hypertension), preoperative assessments (Glasgow Coma score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, ASA classification, anesthesia classification, grading of operation), intra- and post-operative data (operation time, intraoperative cardiac risk events, blood transfusion, and postoperative fever) were collected and analyzed. Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) at the time of discharge were applied as manifestation of recovery. Chi-square test was used for univariate analysis, and two classification Logistic Regression were conducted to clarify the independent prognostic factors. Results Anesthesia classification, ASA grading and APACHE II score were statistically correlated with GOS outcome. Anesthesia classification exerted highest relative risk of 3.333. Conclusions The APACHE II score system, ASA grading system and anesthesia classification system may be independent prognostic markers of neurosurgical patients.
