METHOD OF PREDICTING VERSION OF MINIMAL BRAIN DYSFUNCTION (MBD) COURSE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B5/476 A61B5/16 A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to neurology, psychiatry and pediatrics. Factors of perinatal pathology risk are determined: extragenital diseases of mother during pregnancy and labour, complications of pregnancy and labour, low gestational age, estimation by Apgar scale and compromised obstetric history. Also determined is presence of neurological malfunctions during 1-st year of life: syndromes of motor malfunctions, increased neuroreflex excitability, vegetative-visceral disorders, depression, retardation of physhomotor and speech development; and in older age - cerebrosthenic syndrome and syndrome of child dysphasia in structure of symptom complex of MBD, epileptiform activity by EEG. Results of questionnaire for MBD detection are evaluated in points. Prognostic coefficients F₁ and F₂ are calculated in discriminating equations. If F₁ is higher than F_2, favorable course of MBD is predicted, if F₁ is less than F_2, unfavorable course of MBD is predicted.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase reliability of MBD course prediction.
