Relationship between extravascular leakage and clinical outcome on computed tomography of isolated traumatic brain injury.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study investigated whether contrast extravasation on computed tomography (CT) angiography in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with death or surgical procedures.

Methods

Patients over 18 years old, directly brought in by ambulance with an isolated head injury and confirmed to have acute intracranial hemorrhage on a CT scan upon admission between 2010 and 2020, were included. The primary outcome was mortality, and the secondary outcome was neurosurgical procedures performed from admission to discharge from the intensive care unit. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association between these outcomes and contrast extravasation.

Results

The analysis included 188 patients with a median age of 65 years,
