Abstract
Clinimetrics is a distinct domain of medicine that focuses on the construction and evaluation of clinical indexes used in measuring clinical phenomena and it employs numerous special methods closely related to the strategy of psychometrics. Based on literature, the most commonly used scales to assess patients with aneurysmal SAH are described in this study. These are the Hunt−Hess scale (H−H), World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Scale (WFNS), Fisher Scale (FS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Another scale used for diagnostic purposes, the Brainstem Insufficiency Scale (BIS), is also reviewed here.
Streszczenie
Klinimetria to swoista dziedzina wiedzy medycznej, skupiająca się na budowie i ocenie wskaźników klinicznych, wykorzystująca liczne metody blisko spokrewnione ze strategią psychometrii. Oznacza ona pomiar zjawisk klinicznych występujących u pacjenta. Opierając się na piśmiennictwie omówiono najczęściej używane skale w ocenie pacjentów z krwotokiem podpajęczynówkowym wywołanym tętniakiem śródczaszkowym. Przedstawiono dane dotyczące takich skal pomiarowych, jak: skala Hunta−Hessa (H−H), skala Światowej Federacji Neurochirurgów (WFNS), skala Fishera (FS), skala śpiączki Glasgow (GCS), skala Glasgow wyników końcowych (GOS). Uwzględniono również Skalę Niedomogi Pnia Mózgu (BIS).
