Table 1 Marshall Score [13].

From: Low central venous saturation predicts poor outcome in patients with brain injury after major trauma: a prospective observational study

 

MARSHALL SCORE

Diffuse injury I

no visible pathology

Diffuse injury II

cisterns present, midline shift 0–5 mm and/or lesion densities present or no mass lesion > 25 ml

Diffuse injury III (swelling)

cisterns compressed or absent with midline shift 0–5 mm or no mass lesion > 25 ml

Diffuse injury IV (shift)

midline shift > 5 mm, no mass lesion > 25 ml; neurosurgery; high or mixed-density lesion > 25 ml, not surgically evacuated

  1. The score is based on the severity of intracranial lesions identified at head CT scan
