Long-term survival of traumatic brain injury and intra-cerebral haemorrhage patients: A multicentric observational cohort
Authors' conclusion
In this ICU survivor population with a prolonged follow-up, we highlight an acute risk of death after ICU stay, which seems to last longer in ICH patients. Several variables characteristic of disease severity appeared associated with long-term mortality
Study context
- Population
- TBI and ICH patients admitted to 3 ICUs from January 2013 to February 2021 and alive at 7 days post-ICU discharge
- Participants
- 435 vs 580
- Exposure
- ICH vs TBI
- ICHn = 435
- TBIn = 580reference
- Outcome
- Long-term mortality
Methodological details3 ICUs, Lasso-penalized Cox survival analysis
- 3 ICUs

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Survival rate · 7 years
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Variables associated with mortality risk
- Higher mortality risk with age, ICU LOS, tracheostomy, low GCS, absence of ICP monitoring
- Anisocoria related with mortality risk in the early stage after ICU stay
