Objective To explore the application disturbance coefficient (DC) value of noninvasive brain edema monitoring in patients after traumatic brain injury.Methods A total of 54 cerebral injury patients were performed by non-invasive brain edema monitoring from June to November 2016.The essential information,DC,intracranial pressure (ICP),and 6-month-later glasgow outcome score (GOS) were collected.Results DC was negatively correlated with ICP (r=-0.779 5,P<0.01),and it was positively correlated with glasgow coma scale (GCS) and GOS (r=0.667 5,P<0.01;r=0.630 6,P<0.01).The mean of DC with good prognosis patients was 106.99±4.09,and that of the poor prognosis patients was85.26±4.45,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion DC has a good clinical application value.
