Initial CT-based radiomics nomogram for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury: a multicenter development and validation study

Rui-zhe Zheng et al.

Summary: This study developed a radiomic prediction model using initial noncontrast CT to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury. The model showed high accuracy and could provide vital insights for early warning of death in TBI patients.

A Clinical Predictive Nomogram for Traumatic Brain Parenchyma Hematoma Progression

Jiangtao Sheng et al.

Summary: The study proposed an accurate prediction tool for acute tICH expansion, named the TPHEA model, which includes multiple predictive factors such as age, coagulopathy, baseline tICH volume, etc. This model showed optimal discrimination, calibration, and clinical net benefits, facilitating personalized treatments for patients with brain contusion.

Epidemiology of Traumatic Brain Injury in Europe: A Living Systematic Review

Alexandra Brazinova et al.

Summary: This systematic review provides a comprehensive summary of traumatic brain injury (TBI) epidemiology in Europe, including data on incidence, mortality, age, sex distribution, and mechanisms of injury. Traffic accidents and falls are the most common causes of TBI, with a possible trend of decreasing contribution of traffic accidents over time.

Trends and external causes of traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury mortality in south China, 2014-2018: an ecological study

Xue-Yan Zheng et al.

Summary: The study found that traumatic brain injury mortality remained relatively stable, while spinal cord injury mortality increased significantly from 2014 to 2018. Males, rural residents, and older individuals had higher adjusted mortality rate ratios for both TBI and SCI. Motor vehicle crashes and falls were the leading causes of TBI mortality, while falls were the most important external cause of SCI death across all ages.

Global trends in adolescents' road traffic injury mortality, 1990-2019

Uzma Rahim Khan et al.

Summary: From 1990 to 2019, there was a downward trend in road traffic injury mortality among adolescents aged 10-19 globally, with high-income countries showing more pronounced reductions. Despite the decrease in mortality rates, prevention efforts should be continued.

Intracranial pressure monitoring in patients with acute brain injury in the intensive care unit (SYNAPSE-ICU) : an international, prospective observational cohort study

Chiara Robba et al.

Summary: This study investigated the practice of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring in acute brain injury patients and its impact on patient outcomes. The results showed significant variability in ICP monitoring use across different centers, with a potential association between ICP monitoring and lower 6-month mortality and better long-term neurological outcomes in severe cases.

Changes in Mortality Related to Traumatic Brain Injuries in the Seychelles from 1989 to 2018

Anne Abio et al.

Summary: This study investigated traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related mortality changes in the Republic of Seychelles during 1989-2018. The findings showed a decrease in TBI-related mortality rates over the 30-year period, with road traffic collisions being the leading cause of TBI-related deaths. Male TBI mortality rates were higher than female rates, emphasizing the importance of road safety measures in reducing TBIs.
