ASSOCIATION OF SERUM TOTAL PROTEIN AND SERUM ALBUMIN WITH OUTCOMES IN THE PATIENTS WITH SEVERE TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

Abstract

Background: Traumatic brain injury is a derangement of natural anatomy and physiology of the brain or other evidence due to external acceleration and deceleration motion that leads to temporary or permanent impairment of brain function.
Aim: to investigate the role of total protein and albumin lead to resulting repairmen of brain function.
Methods: The study conducted after the approval of ethical board of hospital with traumatic brain injury patients who passed the inclusion criteria of study.
Results: Total serum protein level (7.01 - 7.50) g/dl was found in maximum 21% of total TBI patients, whereas the total serum albumin level (3.51 - 4.0) g/dl was found in maximum 29.9% of total TBI patients. The association between severity of the patients with serum total protein (p=0.01340) was found highly significant where the association between severity of the patients with total serum albumin (p=0.00375) in TBI patients were significantly assessed. Similarly, on assessment of association with severe TBI patients with outcome were also reported significant value with total serum protein (p=0.00177) & serum albumin (p=0.01130).
Conclusion: The estimated parameter were found highly significant levels of degree with the association based outcomes revealed the result of Glasgow coma scale and Glasgow coma outcome scales in traumatic brain injury patients.
