Abstract
Objective: The Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE) is a commonly used assessment tool to evaluate the outcome following traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study aims to evaluate the applicability of the GOSE structured interview in the Moroccan context and to examine its reliability.
Methods: In this prospective validation study, we assessed the inter-rater reliability of GOSE scoring for 123 TBI patients who attended Avicenna University Hospital's outpatient unit. Interrater agreement of the GOSE was assessed, with Cohen's weighted κ, between the rater with the structured interview and the rater without the structured interview and between the rater specialized in TBI and the non-specialized rater.
Results: The findings demonstrated a high level of agreement (weighted kappa = 0.96) between the rater specialized in TBI and the non-specialized rater with (p < 0.001) and a high level of agreement (weighted kappa = 0.85) between the rater with the structured interview and the neurosurgeon without the structured interview. The Moroccan version is capable of assessing the GOSE Score at a level similar to the original version.
Conclusion: The use of this version has the potential to expedite the process of evaluating outcomes in patients with TBI in both clinical practice and research settings.
期刊介绍:
Neurochirurgie publishes articles on treatment, teaching and research, neurosurgery training and the professional aspects of our discipline, and also the history and progress of neurosurgery. It focuses on pathologies of the head, spine and central and peripheral nervous systems and their vascularization. All aspects of the specialty are dealt with: trauma, tumor, degenerative disease, infection, vascular pathology, and radiosurgery, and pediatrics. Transversal studies are also welcome: neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurology, neuropediatrics, psychiatry, neuropsychology, physical medicine and neurologic rehabilitation, neuro-anesthesia, neurologic intensive care, neuroradiology, functional exploration, neuropathology, neuro-ophthalmology, otoneurology, maxillofacial surgery, neuro-endocrinology and spine surgery. Technical and methodological aspects are also taken onboard: diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, methods for assessing results, epidemiology, surgical, interventional and radiological techniques, simulations and pathophysiological hypotheses, and educational tools. The editorial board may refuse submissions that fail to meet the journal''s aims and scope; such studies will not be peer-reviewed, and the editor in chief will promptly inform the corresponding author, so as not to delay submission to a more suitable journal.
With a view to attracting an international audience of both readers and writers, Neurochirurgie especially welcomes articles in English, and gives priority to original studies. Other kinds of article - reviews, case reports, technical notes and meta-analyses - are equally published.
Every year, a special edition is dedicated to the topic selected by the French Society of Neurosurgery for its annual report.
