Mortality During In-Hospital Stay and the First 24 h After Decompressive Craniectomy in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Multi-Center, Retrospective Propensity Score-Matched Study
2025
Overview
Objectives: Early death after trauma has been described several times. Little is known about it after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and decompressive craniectomy (DC). The aim of this study was to characterize patients who die after a TBI and DC during their in-hospital stay. Methods: In a subgroup analysis of a retrospective, multicenter, and observational study, non-survivors from in-hospital stays treated for severe TBI and DC were included. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used. Results: A total of 223 patients with severe TBI were treated with DC, and there were 65 (29.1%) patients who did not survive. Of these, 22 (33.8%) died within the first 24 h. Non-survivors were older (p = 0.010), and pupillomotor dysfunction and a higher heart rate on admission were more common (p < 0.001). PSM patients for overall survival (41, 18.4%) differed in mean heart rate from the deceased (p = 0.030). In a multivariate model, age (OR: 1.045, p = 0.013, CI95%: 1.010 to 1.082), Quick value (OR: 0.965, p = 0.049, CI95%: 0.931 to 1.000), and heart rate (OR: 1.099, p = 0.030, CI95%: 1.009 to 1.197) were confirmed as predictive factors. Conclusions: Even after DC, known factors, such as chronological age and comorbidities, have a significant influence on mortality. The value of DC in an aging society for a particular severity of TBI should be further assessed on the basis of prospective studies.
