Cerebral autoregulation in traumatic brain injury: ultra-low-frequency pressure reactivity index and intracranial pressure across age groups
Authors' conclusion
The study highlights UL-PRx as a tool for assessing CA and valuable outcome predictor for TBI patients.
Study context
- Population
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients across age groups
- Participants
- 263 patients
- Exposure
- Pediatric vs Adult vs ≥ 70 y
- Outcome
- Predictive power of UL-PRx for outcome (GOSE)
- Follow-up
- 12 months
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Association of UL-PRx with 12-month outcome
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Mortality and unfavorable outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE))
- In-hospital mortality
- 25.9%
- 12-month mortality
- 32.7%
- Unfavorable outcome at 12 months (GOSE)
- 60.0%
UL-PRx and CPPopt
- UL-PRx associated with CPPopt
