Effects and Clinical Characteristics of Intracranial Pressure Monitoring-Targeted Management for Subsets of Traumatic Brain Injury: An Observational Multicenter Study

摘要

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of traumatic brain injury management guided by intracranial pressure monitoring and to explore the specific subgroups for which intracranial pressure monitoring might be significantly associated with improved outcomes based on a classification of the various traumatic brain injury pathophysi-ologies using the clinical features and CT scans. Design: Retrospective observational multicenter study. Setting: Twenty-two hospitals (16 level I trauma centers and six level II trauma centers) in nine provinces in China. Patients: Moderate or severe traumatic brain injury patients who were more than 14 years old. Interventions: Intracranial pressure monitoring.
