Identifying Clinical Predictors of Raised Intracranial Pressure in Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury-A Multinational Initiative.

ABSTRACT: Use of the intracranial pressure (ICP) monitor in pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains variable. Clinical prediction models of raised ICP have been reported in adult TBI but have not been validated in pediatric TBI. We aimed to investigate clinical predictors and derive a prediction model for raised ICP in pediatric patients with TBI. A real-world observational study was conducted among pediatric intensive care units from the Pediatric Acute & Critical Care Medicine Asian Network and Red Colaborativa Pediátrica de Latinoamerica. Children <18 years with moderate-to-severe TBI and who were hospitalized between 2014 and 2022 were included. We defined raised ICP as >20 mmHg. Multivariable logistic regression models were built to identify significant predictors for raised ICP, and per
