Discharge Destination from Acute Care after Traumatic Brain Injury

Predictors of discharge destination from acute care in patients with traumatic brain injury

INTRODUCTION Many studies have assessed the predictors of morbidity/mortality of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in acute care. However, with the increasing rate of survival after TBI, more attention has been given to discharge destinations from acute care as an important measure of clinical priorities. This study describes the design of a systematic review compiling and synthesising...

Thaliporphine Derivative Improves Acute Lung Injury after Traumatic Brain Injury

Acute lung injury (ALI) occurs frequently in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is associated with a poor clinical outcome.

Since pulmonary edema (PE) usually occurs in the TBI-induced ALI patients, we investigated the effects of a thaliporphine...
