Multistage investigation of predictive factors for tracheostomy in brain injury: a bibliometric, descriptive, and retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Brain injury, particularly traumatic brain injury (TBI), stands as a prominent global cause of mortality and disability. Tracheostomy in TBI patients may lead to added complications. However, the current literature lacks consistency regarding predictive factors for tracheostomy in this patient population. This study seeks to investigate and validate specific predictive factors associated with the need for tracheostomy in TBI patients through a multi-faceted approach involving bibliometric analysis, descriptive examination, and retrospective research.

Methods

This study employs a multi-stage design: a bibliometric analysis of recent literature on tracheostomy predictors in brain injury patients, followed by a descriptive analysis using PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Clini
