The assessment of risk factors for brainstem injuries and supratentorial brain injuries in patients with traumatic brain injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important cause of death with a significant worldwide percentage. In the United States, there are approximately 2.8 million TBIs yearly 250,000 hospitalized patients and 50,000 TBI-related deaths. Every year, one hospitalizations in European Union, resulting more than deaths, most which occur due to road traffic accidents. Needless say, these estimations varied based on different sources data. The patient’s outcome determined by context trauma, type lesion, as well other factors. aim study was assess variables associated brainstem supra-tentorial TBI. This cohort included 70 consecutive deaths from Institute Legal Medicine Cluj-Napoca. There difference contusion (haemorrhage contusion) younger 60. According computed tomography (CT) data, laceration were observed association percentage (p=0.016). Neither meningo-cerebral blood collections nor intraparenchymal hematomas had occurrence contusion. diffuse axonal injuries detected CT scan number cases (p=0.011). mass effect herniation posterior fossa contusion, possibly extensive process (p=0.041). Analyzing histopathological we presence intracranial haemorrhage hemorrhagic (p=0.004), but not meningeal haemorrhage. poor neurological assessment evaluated GCS independent variable relation this lesion. That probably caused complexity We did include multivariate analysis considering for all
