Overview

Comparative cohort study finds similar outcomes in TBI management across Nordic countries, suggesting standardized care is effective.

Key Points

  • The study aims to compare management strategies and outcomes for traumatic brain injury (TBI) across three Nordic intensive care units.
  • Multicenter, retrospective, observational registry study
  • Included 5,970 ICU-managed TBI patients from three Nordic university hospitals
  • Primary outcome was 6-12 month unfavorable Glasgow Outcome Scale and secondary was 30-day mortality.
  • 43% of patients experienced an unfavorable outcome at 6 months and 17% had 30-day mortality.
  • 72% had moderate-to-severe TBI and 54% underwent neurosurgical intervention.
  • After adjustment for outcome predictors, minimal variation in outcomes between hospitals was observed.
