Abstract
Objective
Individuals with psychiatric illnesses (PIs) have increased rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Nonetheless, the influence of underlying PI on TBI outcomes is poorly understood.
Methods
We analyzed the medical records of 633 adult-severe TBI patients admitted to our institution between 2010 and 2021. We identified patients with premorbid PI (Psych (+) group, n = 129) and a subset with only a substance use disorder (SUD (+) group, n = 60) and compared them to patients without PI (Psych (−) group, n = 480). Outcome measures included discharge Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), length of stay, in-hospital survival, and Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E).
Results
The Psych (+) group had increased in-hospital survival (69.8% vs. 55.0%, P = 0.003) and fewer patients with severe (3–8) discharge-GCS (28.7% vs. 46.0%, P < 0.001). The SUD (+) group had increased in-hospital survival (70.0% vs. 55.0%, P = 0.028) and fewer patients with severe discharge-GCS (28.3% vs. 46.0%, P = 0.009). However, the Psych (+) (21.0 vs. 10.0 days, P < 0.001) and SUD (+) (16.0 v. 10.0 days, P = 0.011) groups had longer length of stay. The Psych (+) group had a higher mean GOS-E at discharge (2.7 vs. 2.4, P = 0.004), 6-months (3.8 vs. 3.0, P = 0.006) and 1-year (3.4 vs. 2.3, P = 0.027). The SUD (+) group also had a higher mean GOS-E at discharge (2.8 vs. 2.4, P = 0.034), six months (3.8 vs. 3.0, P = 0.035), and one year (3.5 vs. 2.3, P = 0.008). Additionally, there were no significant differences in injury severity or computed tomography scan findings.
Conclusions
Individuals with PI and SUD appeared to have better outcomes but more complicated hospital stays following severe TBI. Future studies should investigate the mechanisms underlying these outcomes.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
