Abstract

Context

Neurosurgery has much evolved since the time of Kocher and Cushing. Thanks to operative microscope, radiation therapy, progress of neuroresuscitation care, and data from evidence-based neurosurgical research, neurosurgery patients’ prognostic has improved. Now more than ever, we need simple, reliable, and reproducible scores, grades, and classifications to assist us in the surgical decision making, to assess patients’ clinical evolution, and to conduct proper neurosurgical research.

Materials and methods

We conducted a three stage scoping review: (1) identification of sections of interest: brain trauma, tumor, vascular, infection, stroke, functional outcome (2) identification of the most common diseases within each section, (3) we retained every score, scale, classification that is internationally recognized and/or highly cited and/or used daily in clinical practice or research setting and/or that is currently used by the author.

Results

23 scores were retained. Brain trauma section: Glasgow coma scale (1974), Glasgow Liège scale (1982), SHE score (2019), RASH score (2022). Tumor section: Karnofsky Performance status (1948), Graded Prognostic Assessment (2008), Simpson grade (1957), Sindou grade (2006), House and Brackmann (1983), Koos grade (1993), Knosp scale (1993). Vascular section: PHASES score (2014), UIATS score (2015), Hunt and Hess scale (1968), Fisher scale (1980), WFNS scale (1988), Spetzler Martin scale (1986), Borden scale (1995), Cognard scale (1995), Zabramski scale (1995). Stroke section: ICH score (2001), NIHSS (1989). Functional outcome section: Rankin scale (1957).

Conclusion

We provide a non-exhaustive list of 23 reference scales, scores, and classifications that can be safely used for cranial neurosurgery clinical practice and research.

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.
