[Valduna Rehab Scale in evaluating the correlation of clinical outcome and laboratory values in follow-up of encephalomalacia].
The clinical outcome of 65 patients with malazia alba of the brain was documented by the use of our "Valduna-Disability-Score" examining the patients at defined points of time. Simultaneously several rheological parameters of venous blood gained by punction of the cubital veine were examined before and after hemodilution therapy using dextran 40. The items or progress concerning clinical outcome and changes of the rheological parameters were correlated. There was not found any significance. We conclude, that the changes of rheological parameters in venous blood are not able to predict the clinical outcome after hemodilution therapy. The important role of disability scores--in our case the "Valduna-disability-score"--is to be stressed.
