Intracranial-Pressure-Monitoring-Assisted Management Associated with Favorable Outcomes in Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury Patients with a GCS of 9-11.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

With a mortality rate of 10-30%, a moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is one of the most variable traumas. The indications for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring in patients with mTBI and the effects of ICP on patients' outcomes are uncertain. The purpose of this study was to examine the indications of ICP monitoring (ICPm) and its effects on the long-term functional outcomes of mTBI patients.

Methods

Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores of 9-11 at Tangdu hospital, between January 2015 and December 2021, were enrolled and treated in this retrospective cohort study. We assessed practice variations in ICP interventions using the therapy intensity level (TIL). Six-month mortality and a Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E) score were the main outcome
