Prognostic Modelling of Mortality in Chronic Critical Illness After Traumatic Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT: Background: Advances in intensive care have markedly improved survival from acute critical illness. Nevertheless, the subsequent trajectory of these patients is heterogeneous: while most recover and are eventually discharged, approximately 10% remain dependent on life-support systems, forming a distinct group classified as chronic critical illness (CCI). These patients experience prolonged ICU stays, high mortality, and poor long-term outcomes. Prognostication in CCI remains challenging, as traditional severity scores based on admission data seem to lose prognostic accuracy progressively over longer ICU stays. This is particularly relevant in traumatic brain injury (TBI), where patients constitute a significant proportion of the CCI population and require specialized prognostic appr
