Outcome Analysis of Early Decompressive Craniectomy vs Craniotomy in Traumatic Brain Injury

Patients undergoing craniotomy demonstrated significantly better long-term cognitive, functional, and global neurological outcomes than patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy, however, DC remains an essential and potentially life-saving procedure for patients with severe cerebral edema and refractory intracrania...

The Role of Decompressive Craniectomy for Severe Refractory Head Injury.

Decompressive craniectomy is a potential therapeutic option for patients with severe traumatic brain injury and refractory intracranial hypertension, although its indications and clinical benefits remain controversial. A total of 4060 articles were identified, with 94.6% published after 2010. Several major randomized c...

Decompressive craniectomy: The potential association with long-term functional outcomes in children with traumatic brain injury.

BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability in pediatric patients. However, TBI management widely varies due to a lack of high-quality evidence in pediatric population. We aimed to determine the association of decompressive craniectomy (DC) on long-term functional independence i...

The prophylactic hemicraniectomy score: Predicting need for decompressive craniectomy after traumatic brain injury due to refractory intracranial hypertension.

BACKGROUND Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is performed in severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) to treat medically refractory intracranial hypertension. We sought to identify factors present early in admission to predict at risk for treatment-refractory intracranial hypertension requiring DC. METHODS Adults with sTBI...
