Validation of a Novel Clinical Score: The Rostock Functional and Cosmetic Cranioplasty Score.

Abstract:

:With a rising number of cranioplasty (CP) procedures and an increasing percentage of patients with a good clinical outcome and prolonged survival after CP, looking at the functional and aesthetic outcome of these patients becomes more and more important. The aim of our study was to evaluate a novel score, combining functional and cosmetics aspects after CP, created at our institution: the Rostock Functional and Cosmetic Cranioplasty (RFCC-) Score. A total of 27 patients were enrolled, representing all indications for a secondary CP after decompressive craniectomy or extended temporal trephination with a complete separation of the temporalis muscle. Besides the clinical evaluation, five different already established clinical rating systems were tested and compared with our score. For reasons of objectivity, the score was also tested against the patient's own rating. Our findings showed that the RFCC-Score, derived from a health professional, is superior to other scoring systems, which only display a facet of the functional state of the patient. Our score is objective and independent of a disposition for a depression of the patient. It can be obtained without the need of a verbal communication, making it applicable for nearly all patients after CP. The score is time-saving, clearly arranged, and reliable, which are inevitable requirements for the comparing and evaluation of different surgical techniques and associated complications of CP.
