Overview

Retrospective analysis of surgical outcomes in TBI patients at KCMC reveals significant factors impacting mortality and morbidity.

Key Points

  • Mortality rate recorded at 18.3%, with 28.5% experiencing unfavourable outcomes after surgery.
  • Patients aged 50 and above faced significantly worse outcomes (p < 0.002), highlighting the impact of age on recovery.
  • Most common cause of TBI was motor traffic accidents, contributing to 72.9% of cases in the study.
  • Craniotomy improved outcomes, but critical delays and secondary factors must be addressed for better patient care.
