Two brain scans featuring brain injury.These images show how treatment is impacted by the new TBI framework. The left image shows a clear CT, but a higher biomarker level and a brief period of amnesia and other symptoms would result in follow-up and symptom-targeted treatment.

カリフォルニア大学サンフランシスコ校(UCSF)の研究チームは、外傷性脳損傷(TBI)の評価に新たな基準「CBI-M(Comprehensive Brain Injury Model)」を開発しました。従来のグラスゴー・コーマ・スケール(GCS)は、意識レベルに基づき「軽度」「中等度」「重度」に分類するのみで、複雑な症状を捉えきれないという課題がありました。CBI-Mは、GCSに加え、血液バイオマーカー、CT/MRI画像、既往歴、社会的要因(精神疾患、住居状況など)を統合し、より精緻な評価を可能にします。これにより、軽度と判断された患者の深刻な後遺症や、重度とされた患者の回復可能性を見逃さず、治療方針の最適化や臨床試験の精度向上が期待されます。CBI-Mはすでに一部の医療機関で導入されており、今後10年以内に広範な普及が見込まれています。

Summary

The clinical severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is commonly classified according to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) sum score as mild (13–15), moderate (9–12), or severe (3–8). A new approach is needed for characterising TBI more accurately. In 2022, the US National Institutes of Health–National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke launched an international initiative to address this need, with a focus on the acute phase of injury. Six working groups of TBI experts, implementation scientists, people with lived experience, and federal partners were established, involving 94 participants from 14 countries. The proposed new framework for the characterisation of acute TBI incorporates four pillars: a clinical pillar (full GCS and pupillary reactivity); a biomarker pillar (blood-based measures); an imaging pillar (pathoanatomical measures); and a modifier pillar (features influencing clinical presentation and outcome; CBI-M). The CBI-M framework provides a multidimensional characterisation of TBI to inform individualised clinical management and to improve scientific rigor. Research priorities include validation of the CBI-M framework, evaluation of its applicability beyond the acute phase of TBI, and strategies for clinical implementation.
