Single-centre real-life observational study on mortality and outcomes: decompressive craniectomy and brain death in traumatic brain injury, haemorrhage, and other cerebral diseases.
Background: Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) is used after severe brain damages with elevated, refractory intracranial pressure (ICP). In a non age-restricted population, mortality rates and long-term outcomes following DHC are still unclear. This study's objectives were to examine both, as well as to identify predictors of unfavourable outcomes.
Methods: We undertook a retrospective observational analysis of patients aged 18 years and older who underwent DHC at the University Hospital of Bonn between 2018 and 2020, due to traumatic brain injury (TBI), haemorrhage, tumours or infections. Patient outcomes were assessed by conducting telephone interviews, utilising questionnaires for modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and extended Glasgow Outcome scale (GOSE). We evaluated the health-related quality of life using the EuroQol (EQ-5D-5L) scale.
Results: A total of 144 patients with a median age of 58.5 years (range: 18 to 85 years) were evaluated. The mortality rate was 67%, with patients passing away at a median of 6.0 days (IQR [1.9-37.6]) after DHC. Favourable outcomes, as assessed by the mRS and GOSE were observed in 10.4% and 6.3% of patients, respectively. Cox regression analysis revealed a 2.0% increase in the mortality risk for every year of age (HR = 1.017; 95% CI [1.01-1.03]; p = 0.004). Uni- and bilateral fixed pupils were associated with a 1.72 (95% CI [1.03-2.87]; p = 0.037) and 3.97 (95% CI [2.44-6.46]; p < 0.001) times higher mortality risk, respectively. ROC-analysis demonstrated that age and pupillary reactivity predicted 6-month mortality with an AUC of 0.77 (95% CI [0.69-0.84]). The only parameter significantly associated with a better quality of life was younger age.
Conclusions: Following DHC, mortality remains substantial, and favourable outcomes occur rarely. Particularly in elderly patients and in the presence of clinical signs of herniation, mortality rates are notably elevated. Hence, the indication for DHC should be set critically.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
