“…As a result, it was more objective to detect CSF albumin concentration divided by serum albumin concentration, which reflected the blood-CSF barrier function [16]. Secondly, calvarial defects [17] and endoscopic surgery [18] were common in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, China. Therefore, when there was bacterial translocation from nasopharynx into the brain, our results showed that the intracranial bacterial culture was positive but these physicochemical parameters were normal, which led to deviation of model establishment.…”

Routine test of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), such as glucose concentrations, chloride ion, protein and leukocyte, as well as color, turbidity and clot, were important indicators for intracranial infection. However, there were no models to predict the intracranial infection with these parameters. We collected data of 221 cases with CSF positive-culture and 50 cases with CSF negative culture from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, China. SPSS17.0 software was used to establish the model by adopting seven described indicators, and P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Meanwhile, 40 cases with positive-culture and 10 cases with negative-culture were selected to verify the sensitivity and specificity of the model. The results showed that each parameter was significant in the model establishment (P < 0.05). To extract the above seven parameters, the interpretation model C was established, and C = 0.952-0.183 × glucose value (mmol/L)-0.024 × chloride ion value (mmol/L)-0.000122 × protein value (mg/L)-0.0000859 × number of leukocytes per microliter (× 10 6 /L) + 1.354 × color number code + 0.236 × turbidity number code + 0.691 × clot number code. In addition, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the model were 85.0 and 100%, respectively. The combining application of seven physicochemical parameters of CSF might be of great value in the diagnosis of intracranial infection for adult patients.
