| Popis: | Objectives: Our main objective was to evaluate whether serum hypocalcaemia (defined as 3 (disability/death). According with the receiving operative curves analysis, we found that the best level of higher sensitivity (83.76%) and specificity (66.66%) of hypocalcaemia of serum ionized calcium on 3rd day was the value of 1.11 mmol/L, with an odds ratio value of 6.45 (confidence intervals 95%: 2.02–20.55). Conclusions: The serum levels of ionized calcium on day 3 could be useful for the prediction of mortality and disability in patients with moderate and severe TBI. |
