Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumonia has a high incidence in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and lacks effective treatments. Early mobilization (EM) may be a potentially effective treatment. AIM To explore the impact of EM on TBI-related pneumonia in the neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU). STUDY DESIGN This study was a historical control study. 100 TBI patients who received EM intervention were prospectively included as the experimental group (EM cohort), and 250 TBI patients were retrospectively included as the control group. The propensity score matching (PSM) method was employed to balance baseline and minimize potential bias. The relationship between EM and TBI-related pneumonia was investigated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression, then further determined by subgroup analysis. The influence of other variables was excluded by interaction analyses. Finally, the effect of EM on the prognosis of TBI patients was analysed by comparing the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the hospital stay. RESULTS After screening, 86 patients were included in the EM cohort and 199 patients were included in the control cohort. There were obvious differences between the two cohorts at baseline, and these differences were eliminated after PSM, when the incidence of pneumonia was significantly lower in the EM cohort than in the control cohort (35.0% vs. 61.9%, p < .001). Multivariate logistic regression showed that EM was an independent risk factor for TBI-related pneumonia and was significantly associated with a decreased incidence of pneumonia. This correlation was present in most subgroups and was not affected by other variables (p for interaction >.05). Patients in the EM cohort had shorter length of ICU stay (6 vs. 7 days, p = .017) and higher GCS at discharge (12 vs. 11, p = .010). CONCLUSION EM is a safe and effective treatment for TBI patients in NICU, which can reduce the incidence of pneumonia, help to improve prognosis and shorten the length of ICU stay. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Although the utilization rate of EM is low in TBI patients for various reasons, EM is still an effective method to prevent complications. Our study confirms that a scientific and detailed EM strategy can effectively reduce the incidence of pneumonia while ensuring the safety of TBI patients, which is worthy of further research and clinical application.

[PMID: 38103238 PMCID: PMC10960300 DOI: 10.4103/1673-5374.389629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, affecting over 69 million individuals yearly. One-carbon metabolism has been shown to have beneficial effects after brain damage, such as ischemic stroke. However, whether increasing one-carbon metabolite vitamins impacts traumatic brain injury outcomes in patients requires more investigation. The aim of this review is to evaluate how one-carbon metabolites impact outcomes after the onset of traumatic brain injury. PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases were searched for studies that examined the impact of B-vitamin supplementation on traumatic brain injury outcomes. The search terms included combinations of the following words: traumatic brain injury, dietary supplementation, one-carbon metabolism, and B-vitamins. The focus of each literature search was basic science data. The year of publication in the literature searches was not limited. Our analysis of the literature has shown that dietary supplementation of B-vitamins has significantly improved the functional and behavioral recovery of animals with traumatic brain injury compared to controls. However, this improvement is dosage-dependent and is contingent upon the onset of supplementation and whether there is a sustained or continuous delivery of vitamin supplementation post-traumatic brain injury. The details of supplementation post-traumatic brain injury need to be further investigated. Overall, we conclude that B-vitamin supplementation improves behavioral outcomes and reduces cognitive impairment post-traumatic brain injury in animal model systems. Further investigation in a clinical setting should be strongly considered in conjunction with current medical treatments for traumatic brain injury-affected individuals.

Construction and validation of a predictive model of pneumonia for ICU patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Neurosurg Rev 2023; 46:308. [PMID: 37985473 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-023-02208-9] [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: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
The incidence of pneumonia in ICU patients with TBI is very high, seriously affecting the prognosis. This study aims to construct a predictive model for pneumonia in ICU patients with TBI and provide help for the prevention of TBI-related pneumonia.Clinical data of ICU patients with TBI were collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database and hospital data. Variables were screened by lasso and multivariate logistic regression to construct a predictive nomogram model, verified in internal validation cohort and external validation cohort by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA).A total of 1850 ICU patients with TBI were enrolled in the study from the MIMIC-IV database, including 1298 in the training cohort and 552 in internal validation cohort. The external validation cohort included 240 ICU patients with TBI from hospital data. Nine variables were selected from the training cohort by lasso regression and multivariate logistic regression, and a pneumonia prediction nomogram was constructed. This nomogram has a high discrimination in training, internal validation and external validation cohorts (AUC = 0.857, 0.877, 0.836). The calibration curve and DCA showed that this nomogram had a high calibration and better clinical decision-making efficiency.The nomogram showed excellent discrimination and clinical utility to predict pneumonia, and could identify pneumonia high-risk patients early, thus providing personalised treatment strategies for ICU patients with TBI.
