Observational approach to subjects with mild-to-moderate head injury and initial non-neurosurgical lesions.
BACKGROUND The model of care for patients with mild-to-moderate head injury and CT-detected lesions that do not require an immediate intervention is a matter of debate. This study compared the effects on outcome of a model based either on observation in a neurosurgical unit (NSU) or in a peripheral hospital (PH), making use of neurosurgical expertise via a teleradiology system. PATIENTS AND M...
متن کاملClinical Factors Predictive for Intracranial Hemorrhage in Mild Head Injury
Patients with mild head injuries, a GCS of 13-15, are at risk for intracranial hemorrhage. Clinical decision is needed to weigh between risks of intracranial hemorrhage and costs of the CT scan of the brain particularly those who are equivocal. This study aimed to find predictors for intracranial hemorrhage in patients with mild head injuries with a moderate risk of intracranial hemorrhage. We ...
متن کاملAntiplatelet therapy and the outcome of subjects with intracranial injury: the Italian SIMEU study
INTRODUCTION Pre-injury antithrombotic therapy might influence the outcome of subjects with head injuries and positive computed tomography (CT) scans. We aimed to determine the potential risk of pre-injury antiplatelet drug use on short- and long-term outcome of head injured subjects admitted to emergency departments (EDs) in Italy for extended observation. METHODS A total of 1,558 adult subj...
