Traumatic brain injury in elderly population: A global systematic review and meta-analysis of in-hospital mortality and risk factors among 2.22 million individuals. Ageing Res Rev 2024; 99:102376. [PMID: 38972601 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) among elderly individuals poses a significant global health concern due to the increasing ageing population. METHODS We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase from database inception to Feb 1, 2024. Studies performed in inpatient settings reporting in-hospital mortality of elderly people (≥60 years) with TBI and/or identifying risk factors predictive of such outcomes, were included. Data were extracted from published reports, in-hospital mortality as our main outcome was synthesized in the form of rates, and risk factors predicting in-hospital mortality was synthesized in the form of odds ratios. Subgroup analyses, meta-regression and dose-response meta-analysis were used in our analyses. FINDINGS We included 105 studies covering 2217,964 patients from 30 countries/regions. The overall in-hospital mortality of elderly patients with TBI was 16 % (95 % CI 15 %-17 %) from 70 studies. In-hospital mortality was 5 % (95 % CI, 3 %-7 %), 18 % (95 % CI, 12 %-24 %), 65 % (95 % CI, 59 %-70 %) for mild, moderate and severe subgroups from 10, 7, and 23 studies, respectively. A decrease in in-hospital mortality over years was observed in overall (1981-2022) and in severe (1986-2022) elderly patients with TBI. Older age 1.69 (95 % CI, 1.58-1.82, P < 0.001), male gender 1.34 (95 % CI, 1.25-1.42, P < 0.001), clinical conditions including traffic-related cause of injury 1.22 (95 % CI, 1.02-1.45, P = 0.029), GCS moderate (GCS 9-12 compared to GCS 13-15) 4.33 (95 % CI, 3.13-5.99, P < 0.001), GCS severe (GCS 3-8 compared to GCS 13-15) 23.09 (95 % CI, 13.80-38.63, P < 0.001), abnormal pupillary light reflex 3.22 (95 % CI, 2.09-4.96, P < 0.001), hypotension after injury 2.88 (95 % CI, 1.06-7.81, P = 0.038), polytrauma 2.31 (95 % CI, 2.03-2.62, P < 0.001), surgical intervention 2.21 (95 % CI, 1.22-4.01, P = 0.009), pre-injury health conditions including pre-injury comorbidity 1.52 (95 % CI, 1.24-1.86, P = 0.0020), and pre-injury anti-thrombotic therapy 1.51 (95 % CI, 1.23-1.84, P < 0.001) were related to higher in-hospital mortality in elderly patients with TBI. Subgroup analyses according to multiple types of anti-thrombotic drugs with at least two included studies showed that anticoagulant therapy 1.70 (95 % CI, 1.04-2.76, P = 0.032), Warfarin 2.26 (95 % CI, 2.05-2.51, P < 0.001), DOACs 1.99 (95 % CI, 1.43-2.76, P < 0.001) were related to elevated mortality. Dose-response meta-analysis of age found an odds ratio of 1.029 (95 % CI, 1.024-1.034, P < 0.001) for every 1-year increase in age on in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS In the field of elderly patients with TBI, the overall in-hospital mortality and its temporal-spatial feature, the subgroup in-hospital mortalities according to injury severity, and dose-response meta-analysis of age were firstly comprehensively summarized. Substantial key risk factors, including the ones previously not elucidated, were identified. Our study is thus of help in underlining the importance of treating elderly TBI, providing useful information for healthcare providers, and initiating future management guidelines. This work underscores the necessity of integrating elderly TBI treatment and management into broader health strategies to address the challenges posed by the aging global population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although traumatic brain injury (TBI) has a disproportionate impact on older adults, there has been limited inclusion of these individuals in post-TBI cognitive-communication research. This study was undertaken to compare demographic and injury characteristics, speech-language pathology input, and broad outcomes for younger and older adults admitted to inpatient rehabilitation following TBI. METHOD A retrospective audit of first occasion adult TBI admissions in 2019 to inpatient rehabilitation in an Australian metropolitan subacute hospital was conducted via medical record data. Admissions were located using International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM) coding that aligned with TBI. Comparisons were made for younger (18-54 years) and older (≥ 55 years) adults. RESULTS A total of 114 admissions (51.75% older adults) were included. Patient age ranged between 18 and 90 years. Falls caused TBI in the majority of older adults, whereas transport-related accidents were the most common cause for younger adults. Age-based trends for intracranial injury were observed. Cognitive-communication difficulties were the most common speech-language pathology diagnosis with no significant difference in prevalence between younger and older adults. Age group was not significantly associated with length of stay or discharge home. CONCLUSIONS The implications of injury-related trends for older adults on post-TBI cognitive-communication are poorly understood. This lack of information is problematic given the frequency of cognitive-communication difficulties in this population. Research into cognitive-communication following new onset TBI in older adults is crucial to support rehabilitation service provision and improve outcomes for older adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Identify sociodemographic, injury, and hospital-level factors associated with acute hospital discharge dispositions following acute hospitalization for moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the United States. METHODS The 2011-2014 National Trauma Data Bank data was used, including 466 acute care hospitals and 114,736 patients ≥16 years old who survived moderate-to-severe TBI. Outcome was acute hospital discharge dispositions: home with/without care (HC), skilled nursing home/other care facility (SNF/ICF) and inpatient rehabilitation/long-term care facility (IRF). Independent variables were patients' sociodemographic, injury, and hospital-level factors. Multilevel modeling was used to assess associations and compare likelihood of discharges. RESULTS Of all patients, 74.5%, 14.6% ,and 10.9% were discharged to HC, SNF/ICF ,and IRF, respectively. Intraclass correlation coefficients indicated that hospitals explained 14.3% and 14.8% of variations in probabilities of institution dispositions. Sociodemographic factors including older age, females, Non-Hispanic Whites, recipients of commercial insurance, and Medicare/Medicaid were significantly associated with higher institution discharges. Hospital-related factors including bed size, teaching status, trauma accreditations, and hospital locations were significantly associated with discharge dispositions. CONCLUSION Identifying factors associated with discharge dispositions after acute hospitalization of TBI is pertinent to ensure quality of care and optimal patient outcomes. Further research into hospital-related variations in acute care discharge dispositions is recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify facilitators and barriers associated with returning home for older adults having received inpatient rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS A qualitative design was used. Five older patients with TBI and four family caregivers were interviewed and six healthcare professionals participated in a focus group. RESULTS Main facilitators to returning home highlighted by all participants were: (1) Patient's adequate health condition and functional status, (2) Access to health and other services at home, (3) Availability of help from a family caregiver. Conversely, if one of these factors was not met, it represented a barrier. Other facilitators identified were (4) Attachment to one's home, (5) Feeling of commitment toward a loved one, (6) Having the possibility of going through a transitional phase, (7) United front between the patient and the family caregiver towards a return home. Additional barriers to returning home included: (8) Incongruent perspectives, and (9) Unclear knowledge about available health and other services at home. CONCLUSION The results of this study could be translated into a practical tool to guide patients, families and professionals in the decision about returning home or exploring an alternative option after inpatient rehabilitation for TBI in older adults.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONWhen orienting an older patient home or to an alternative living environment after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the perspective of rehabilitation professionals can differ from that of patients and caregivers.Professionals tend to emphasize security, whereas patients and caregivers' focus on the well-being associated with home and on the importance of being with their loved one.Integrating the views, values and wishes of older patients with TBI and their caregivers will support a shared decision-making approach for orientation after rehabilitation.

Abstract
Purpose The world population is aging. As direct consequence, geriatric trauma is increasing both in absolute number and in the proportion of annual admissions causing a challenge for the health-care system worldwide. The aim of this review is to delineate the specific and practice rules for the management of mild brain trauma in the elderly. Methods Systematic review of the last 15 years literature on mild traumatic brain injury (nTBI) in elderly patients. Results A total of 68 articles met all eligibility criteria and were selected for the systematic review. We collected 29% high-quality studies and 71% low-quality studies. Conclusion Clinical advices for a comprehensive management are provided. Current outcome data from mTBIs in the elderly show a condition that cannot be sustained in the future by families, society, and health-care systems. There is a strong need for more research on geriatric mild brain trauma addressed to prevent falls, to reduce the impact of polypharmacy, and to define specific management strategies.

BRAIN AND SPINE 2021; 1:100849. [PMID: 36247393 PMCID: PMC9560680 DOI: 10.1016/j.bas.2021.100849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) rates in the elderly are increasing worldwide, mainly due to fall accidents. However, TBI's impact on elderly patients' lives has not been thoroughly investigated. Research question This systematic review and meta-analysis aims at describing post-TBI incidence of functional decline, dependency, nursing home admission, reduced quality of life and depression in the elderly. Materials and methods A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, Web Of Science, BIOSIS, Current Contents Connect, Data Citation Index, MEDLINE, SciELO, Cochrane library and CINAHL. Study selection was conducted by two independent reviewers. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. Results Twenty-seven studies were included in the qualitative synthesis and twenty-five in a random-effects meta-analysis. The prevalence of unfavorable functional outcomes after TBI was 65.2% (95% CI: 51.1–78.0). Admission to a nursing home had a pooled prevalence of 28.5% (95% CI: 17.1–41.6) and dependency rates ranged between 16.9% and 74.0%. A reduced quality of life was documented throughout follow-up with SF12/36 scores between 35.3 and 52.3/100.2.6–4.8% of the patients with mild TBI reported depressive symptoms. A large heterogeneity was found among studies for functional outcomes and discharge destination. Discussion and conclusion In conclusion, elderly patients have a significant risk for functional decline, dependency, nursing home admission and low quality of life following TBI. Moreover, more severe injuries lead to worse outcomes. These findings are important to provide accurate patient and family counseling, set realistic treatment targets and aim at relevant outcome variables in prognostic models for TBI in elderly patients. Traumatic Brain Injury in the elderly has a major impact on functional outcomes. Traumatic Brain Injury in elderly leads to dependency and nursing home admission. Elderly patients have a lower quality of life after Traumatic Brain Injury. Older age and injury severity are risk factors for poor functional outcome.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE & COMMUNICATION DISORDERS 2020; 55:821-836.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Older adults are a peak incidence group for traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, empirical evidence on TBI in older adults is often limited to extrapolated findings from studies involving younger adults. While cognitive-communication deficits are an established consequence of TBI with substantial impact on social outcome for younger adults, little is known about the nature of cognitive-communication changes experienced by older adults following a new-onset TBI. In order to inform evidence-based service delivery and support older adults who sustain TBI, it is important to understand how these difficulties manifest in older adults. AIMS To review the empirical literature to determine the nature and breadth of research that has addressed the influence of older age on cognitive-communication outcomes following TBI sustained in older adulthood. METHODS & PROCEDURES A scoping review framework was used. Five electronic databases (Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL and Scopus) were searched to locate peer-reviewed studies addressing cognitive-communication following TBI sustained at ≥ 55 years. Given the absence of dedicated investigations within the search yield, studies were included where at least 30% of participants were aged ≥ 55 years at injury, and age was a stated focus of the investigation. OUTCOMES & RESULTS A total of 2468 unique records were identified and reduced to 225 after title and abstract screening. Full-text review revealed only three studies that met the criteria. Collectively these studies included adults aged 55-93 years at injury. Two studies focused on age as a predictor for acute cognitive-communication difficulty, and one on the impact of age on facial emotion recognition in the chronic stages of injury. None of the studies had a dedicated focus on cognitive-communication outcomes for older adults who sustained a TBI within the defined period of older adulthood. CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS This scoping review produced limited results and insufficient evidence to inform rehabilitation for older adults. Indeed, very little is known about cognitive-communication outcomes for older adults who sustain a TBI. This review highlights the need, in the context of an ageing population, for research within this area to be prioritized. What this paper adds What is already known on the subject Empirical evidence to support the management of post-TBI cognitive-communication difficulties in adults predominantly stems from studies with young adults. However, the broader TBI literature suggests that outcome for older adults requires specific consideration due to its distinct nature and occurrence during a stage of life when there is the potential for subtle change to the processes of cognition and communication as part of typical ageing. What this paper adds to existing knowledge This scoping review identifies that research related to cognitive-communication outcomes for older adults who have sustained a TBI is very much in its infancy. Overarching statements about post-TBI cognitive-communication outcomes for older adults cannot be drawn, nor can it be determined if outcomes for older adults differ from younger adults. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? The lack of research in this area means that tangible guidance cannot be provided to clinicians working with older adults following TBI to support evidence-based practice for cognitive-communication. This scoping review strongly supports the need for further research in this area.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injury (TBI) still remains a serious health problem and is called a "silent epidemic". Each year in Europe 262 per 100,000 individuals suffer from TBI. The most common consequence of severe head injuries include acute subdural (SDH) and epidural hematomas (EDH), which usually require immediate surgically treatment. The aim of our study is to identify factors which have the strongest prognostic value in relation to in-hospital mortality rate among of patients undergoing surgery for EDH and SDH. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cohort included 128 patients with isolated craniocerebral injuries who underwent surgery for EDH (28 patients) and SDH (100 patients) in a single, tertiary care Department of Neurosurgery. The data were collected on admission of patients to the Emergency Department and retrospectively analyzed. The following factors were analyzed: demographic data, physiological parameters, laboratory variables, computed tomography scan characteristics and the time between trauma and surgery. Likewise, we have investigated the in-hospital mortality of patients at the time of discharge. RESULTS We found that the factors with the strongest prognostic values were: the initial GCS score, respiratory rate, glycaemia, blood saturation, systolic blood pressure, midline shift and type of hematoma. Additionally, we proved that a drop by one point in the GCS score almost doubles the risk of in-hospital death while the presence of coagulopathy increases the risk of in-hospital death almost six times. CONCLUSION Most of the factors with the strongest prognostic value are factors that the emergency team can treat prior to the hospital admission. Coagulopathy, however that has the strongest influence on in-hospital death rate can only be efficiently treated in a hospital setting.

In-Suk Bae MD, Hyoung-Joon Chun MD, Hyeong-Joong Yi MD, Kyu-Sun Choi MD. Using components of the Glasgow coma scale and Rotterdam CT scores for mortality risk stratification in adult patients with traumatic brain injury: A preliminary study. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2019; 188:105599. [PMID: 31760257 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2019.105599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Revised: 11/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/11/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Rotterdam Computed Tomography Score (RCTS) are widely used to predict outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The objective of this study was to determine whether the GCS and RCTS components can be used to predict outcomes in patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (IH) after TBI. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between May 2009 and July 2017, 773 patients with IH after TBI were retrospectively reviewed. Data on initial GCS, RCTS according to initial brain CT, and status at hospital discharge and last follow-up were collected. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between GCS and RCTS components with outcomes after TBI. RESULTS Among the 773 patients, the overall in-hospital mortality rate was 14.0%. Variables independently associated with outcomes were the verbal (V-GCS) and motor components of GCS (M-GCS), epidural mass lesion (E-RCTS) and intraventricular or subarachnoid hemorrhage components of RCTS (H-RCTS) (p < 0.0001). The new TBI score was obtained with the following calculation: [V-GCS + M-GCS] - [E-RCTS + H-RCTS]. CONCLUSION The new TBI score includes both clinical status and radiologic findings from patients with IH after TBI. The new TBI score is a useful tool for assessing TBI patients with IH in that it combines the GCS and RCTS components that increases area under the curve for predicting in-hospital mortality and unfavorable outcomes and eliminates the paradoxical relationship with outcomes which was observed in GCS score. It allows a practical method to stratify the risk of outcomes after TBI.

Bobeff EJ, Fortuniak J, Bryszewski B, Wiśniewski K, Bryl M, Kwiecień K, Stawiski K, Jaskólski DJ. Mortality After Traumatic Brain Injury in Elderly Patients: A New Scoring System. World Neurosurg 2019; 128:e129-e147. [PMID: 30981800 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2019.04.060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2019] [Revised: 04/05/2019] [Accepted: 04/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a life-threatening condition characterized by growing incidence worldwide, particularly in the aging population, in which the primary goal of treatment appears to be avoidance of chronic institutionalization. METHODS To identify independent predictors of 30-day mortality or vegetative state in a geriatric population and calculate an intuitive scoring system, we screened 480 patients after TBI treated at a single department of neurosurgery over a 2-year period. We analyzed data of 214 consecutive patients aged ≥65 years, including demographics, medical history, cause and time of injury, neurologic state, radiologic reports, and laboratory results. A predictive model was developed using logistic regression modeling with a backward stepwise feature selection. RESULTS The median Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission was 14 (interquartile range, 12-15), whereas the 30-day mortality or vegetative state rate amounted to 23.4%. Starting with 20 predefined features, the final prediction model highlighted the importance of GCS motor score (odds ratio [OR], 0.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.09-0.32); presence of comorbid cardiac, pulmonary, or renal dysfunction or malignancy (OR, 2.86; 9 5% CI, 1.08-7.61); platelets ≤100 × 109 cells/L (OR, 13.60; 95% CI, 3.33-55.49); and red blood cell distribution width coefficient of variation ≥14.5% (OR, 2.91; 95% CI, 1.09-7.78). The discovered coefficients were used for nomogram development. It was further simplified to facilitate clinical use. The proposed scoring system, Elderly Traumatic Brain Injury Score (eTBI Score), yielded similar performance metrics. CONCLUSIONS The eTBI Score is the first scoring system designed specifically for older adults. It could constitute a framework for clinical decision-making and serve as an outcome predictor. Its capability to stratify risk provides reliable criteria for assessing efficacy of TBI management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) often are studied together with patients with severe TBI, even though the expected outcome of the former is better. Therefore, we aimed to describe patient characteristics and 12-month outcomes, and to develop a prognostic model based on admission data, specifically for patients with moderate TBI. METHODS Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale scores of 9-13 and age ≥16 years were prospectively enrolled in 2 level I trauma centers in Europe. Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE) score was assessed at 12 months. A prognostic model predicting moderate disability or worse (GOSE score ≤6), as opposed to a good recovery, was fitted by penalized regression. Model performance was evaluated by area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristics curves. RESULTS Of the 395 enrolled patients, 81% had intracranial lesions on head computed tomography, and 71% were admitted to an intensive care unit. At 12 months, 44% were moderately disabled or worse (GOSE score ≤6), whereas 8% were severely disabled and 6% died (GOSE score ≤4). Older age, lower Glasgow Coma Scale score, no day-of-injury alcohol intoxication, presence of a subdural hematoma, occurrence of hypoxia and/or hypotension, and preinjury disability were significant predictors of GOSE score ≤6 (area under the curve = 0.80). CONCLUSIONS Patients with moderate TBI exhibit characteristics of significant brain injury. Although few patients died or experienced severe disability, 44% did not experience good recovery, indicating that follow-up is needed. The model is a first step in development of prognostic models for moderate TBI that are valid across centers.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Traumatic brain injuries are common, especially within the elderly population, which is typically defined as age 65 and older. This narrative review aims at summarizing and critically evaluating important aspects of their health care management in covering the entire pathway from prehospital care to rehabilitation and beyond. RECENT FINDINGS The number of older patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is increasing, and there seem to be differences in all aspects of care along their pathway when compared to younger patients. Despite a higher mortality and a generally less favorable outcome, the current literature shows that older TBI patients have the potential to make significant improvements over time. More research is needed to evaluate the most efficient and integrated clinical pathway from prehospital interventions to rehabilitation as well as the optimal treatment of older TBI patients. Most importantly, they should not be denied access to specific treatments and therapies only based on age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of risk factors including International Normalized Ratio (INR) as well as the Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) scores on several outcomes, including hospital length of stay (LOS) and The Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE) following TBI in the elderly population. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected on patients (n=982) aged 65 and above who were admitted post TBI to the McGill University Health Centre-Montreal General Hospital from 2000 to 2011. Age, Injury Severity Score (ISS), Glasgow Coma Scale score (GCS), type of trauma (isolated TBI vs polytrauma including TBI), initial CT scan results according to the Marshall Classification and the INR and PTT scores and prescriptions of antiplatelet or anticoagulant agents (AP/AC) were collected. RESULTS Results also indicated that age, ISS and GSC score have an effect on the GOSE score. We also found that taking AC/AP has an effect on GOSE outcome, but that this effects depends on PTT, with lower odds of a worse outcome for those taking AC/AP agents as the PTT value goes up. However, this effect only becomes significant as the PTT value reaches 60 and above. CONCLUSION Age and injury severity rather than antithrombotic agent intake are associated with adverse acute outcome such as GOSE in hospitalized elderly TBI patients.

Brain Behav Immun 2016; 53:183-193.

Abstract
Studies have characterized absolute levels of multiple inflammatory markers as significant risk factors for poor outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, inflammatory marker concentrations are highly inter-related, and production of one may result in the production or regulation of another. Therefore, a more comprehensive characterization of the inflammatory response post-TBI should consider relative levels of markers in the inflammatory pathway. We used principal component analysis (PCA) as a dimension-reduction technique to characterize the sets of markers that contribute independently to variability in cerebrospinal (CSF) inflammatory profiles after TBI. Using PCA results, we defined groups (or clusters) of individuals (n=111) with similar patterns of acute CSF inflammation that were then evaluated in the context of outcome and other relevant CSF and serum biomarkers collected days 0-3 and 4-5 post-injury. We identified four significant principal components (PC1-PC4) for CSF inflammation from days 0-3, and PC1 accounted for the greatest (31%) percentage of variance. PC1 was characterized by relatively higher CSF sICAM-1, sFAS, IL-10, IL-6, sVCAM-1, IL-5, and IL-8 levels. Cluster analysis then defined two distinct clusters, such that individuals in cluster 1 had highly positive PC1 scores and relatively higher levels of CSF cortisol, progesterone, estradiol, testosterone, brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and S100b; this group also had higher serum cortisol and lower serum BDNF. Multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that individuals in cluster 1 had a 10.9 times increased likelihood of GOS scores of 2/3 vs. 4/5 at 6 months compared to cluster 2, after controlling for covariates. Cluster group did not discriminate between mortality compared to GOS scores of 4/5 after controlling for age and other covariates. Cluster groupings also did not discriminate mortality or 12 month outcomes in multivariate models. PCA and cluster analysis establish that a subset of CSF inflammatory markers measured in days 0-3 post-TBI may distinguish individuals with poor 6-month outcome, and future studies should prospectively validate these findings. PCA of inflammatory mediators after TBI could aid in prognostication and in identifying patient subgroups for therapeutic interventions.

Mortality and One-Year Functional Outcome in Elderly and Very Old Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries: Observed and Predicted. Behav Neurol 2015; 2015:845491. [PMID: 26688614 PMCID: PMC4672101 DOI: 10.1155/2015/845491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2015] [Revised: 10/29/2015] [Accepted: 11/08/2015] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate mortality and functional outcome in old and very old patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and compare to the predicted outcome according to the internet based CRASH (Corticosteroid Randomization After Significant Head injury) model based prediction, from the Medical Research Council (MRC). Methods. Prospective, national multicenter study including patients with severe TBI ≥65 years. Predicted mortality and outcome were calculated based on clinical information (CRASH basic) (age, GCS score, and pupil reactivity to light), as well as with additional CT findings (CRASH CT). Observed 14-day mortality and favorable/unfavorable outcome according to the Glasgow Outcome Scale at one year was compared to the predicted outcome according to the CRASH models. Results. 97 patients, mean age 75 (SD 7) years, 64% men, were included. Two patients were lost to follow-up; 48 died within 14 days. The predicted versus the observed odds ratio (OR) for mortality was 2.65. Unfavorable outcome (GOSE < 5) was observed at one year follow-up in 72% of patients. The CRASH models predicted unfavorable outcome in all patients. Conclusion. The CRASH model overestimated mortality and unfavorable outcome in old and very old Norwegian patients with severe TBI.
