Children with traumatic brain injury, on sedatives or neuromuscular blockade; with pre-existing cerebral palsy, mental retardation, degenerative brain disease, vision/hearing impairment; and seizure within last 1 hour were excluded. Primary outcomes: comparison of area under curve(AUC) of receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve for in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes: comparison of AUC of ROC curve for mortality and poor outcome on Pediatric Overall Performance Category Scale at 3 months.RESULTS: Of the 63 children, 20 died during hospital stay. AUC for in-hospital mortality for GCS was 0.83(CI 0.7 to 0.9) and FOUR score was 0.8(CI 0.7 to 0.9) [difference between areas –0.0250(95%CI 0.0192 to 0.0692), Z statistic 1.109, P=0.2674]. AUC for mortality at 3 months for GCS was 0.78(CI 0.67 to 0.90) and FOUR score was 0.74(CI 0.62 to 0.87)(P=0.1102) and AUC for poor functional outcome for GCS was 0.82(CI 0.72 to 0.93) and FOUR score was 0.79(CI 0.68 to 0.9)(P=0.2377), which were also comparable. Inter-rater reliability for GCS was 0.96 and for FOUR score 0.98.CONCLUSION: FOUR score was as good as GCS in prediction of in-hospital and 3-month mortality and functional outcome at 3 months. FOUR score had a good inter-rater reliability.展开更多

To facilitate such a dialogue,I organize conceptual and methodological issues under three headings—collective sensorium,vernacular modernism,and new cultural history. While I closely engage the works of Miriam Hansen and Zhang Zhen,I also bring in Leo Lee’s and Bao Weihong’s methodologies and reference the newest development in a media archaeology of film history and theory.展开更多
