Objective The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between neuropsychiatric outcomes and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in patients with delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP).Methods and Materials 66 patients and 60 healthy controls were included in this *** fractional anisotropy (FA) of the white matter bilaterally was compared between patients and healthy *** Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) was assessed at four to six months following *** association between the GOS score and FA variables was explored using the Spearman rank *** The FA values in white matter were reduced in patients with DEACMP compared with those in the *** the 66 patients,21 (31.8％) achieved a good outcome (GOS-5),26 (36.4％) had moderate disability (GOS-4),14 (21.2％) had severe disability (GOS-3),5 (7.6％) were in a vegetative state (GOS-2),and none of the patients died (GOS-1).The FA values in the white matter in patients with DEACMP correlated significantly with *** DTI may be a valuable tool for assessing the severity of tissue injury and may be a predictor of outcome.
