Recent single-center retrospective analysis displayed the association between admission computed tomography (CT) markers of diffuse intracranial injury and worse cerebrovascular reactivity. The goal of this study was to further...
Background: The dimensionality of depression and anxiety instruments have recently been a source of controversy. Objectives and Design: In a European-wide sample of patients after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), we aim to examine...
Brain tissue oxygen (PbtO2) monitoring in traumatic brain injury (TBI) has demonstrated strong associations with global outcome. Additionally, PbtO2 signals have been used to derive indices thought to be associated with...
Failure of cerebral autoregulation has been linked to unfavorable outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Preliminary evidence from a small, retrospective, single-center analysis suggests that autoregulatory dysfunction may...
OBJECTIVE: In a previous study, we observed the presence of simultaneous increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) and the heart rate (HR), which we denominated cardio-cerebral crosstalk (CC), and we related the number of such...
Magnitude of intracranial pressure (ICP) elevations and their duration have been associated with worse outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI), however published thresholds for injury vary and uncertainty about...
In traumatic brain injury (TBI), preliminary retrospective work on signal entropy suggests an association with global outcome. The goal of this study was to provide multi-center validation of the association between multi-scale...
Cerebral autoregulation, as measured using the pressure reactivity index (PRx), has been related to global patient outcome in adult patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). To date, this has been documented without accounting...
BACKGROUND: To date, the cerebral physiologic consequences of persistently elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) have been based on either low-resolution physiologic data or retrospective high-frequency data from single centers....
BACKGROUND: The 'optimal' CPP (CPPopt) concept is based on the vascular pressure reactivity index (PRx). The feasibility and effectiveness of CPPopt guided therapy in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients is currently...
BACKGROUND: After traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain tissue can be further damaged when cerebral autoregulation is impaired. Managing cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) according to computed "optimal CPP" values based on...
Magnitude of intracranial pressure (ICP) elevations and their duration have been associated with worse outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI), however published thresholds for injury vary and uncertainty about...
Decompressive craniectomy (DC) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been suggested to influence cerebrovascular reactivity. We aimed to determine if the statistical properties of vascular reactivity metrics and slow-wave...
BACKGROUND: Prehospital care for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) varies with some emergency medical systems recommending direct transport of patients with moderate to severe TBI to hospitals with specialist...
PURPOSE: To study variation in, and clinical impact of high Therapy Intensity Level (TIL) treatments for elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) across European Intensive Care Units...
BACKGROUND: Trauma-induced coagulopathy in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with high rates of complications, unfavourable outcomes and mortality. The mechanism of the development of TBI-associated...
INTRODUCTION: The strength of evidence underpinning care and treatment recommendations in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is low. Comparative effectiveness research (CER) has been proposed as a framework to provide evidence for...
PURPOSE: To describe ICU stay, selected management aspects, and outcome of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Europe, and to quantify variation across centers. METHODS: This is a prospective...
BACKGROUND: Neurosurgical management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is challenging, with only low-quality evidence. We aimed to explore differences in neurosurgical strategies for TBI across Europe. METHODS: A survey was sent...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to validate a previously published consensus-based quality indicator set for the management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) at intensive care units (ICUs) in Europe and to study...
