Evaluation of prognostic factors of decompressive craniectomy in the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury
OBJECTIVE: to determine predictive factors for prognosis of decompressive craniectomy in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), describing epidemiological findings and the major complications of this procedure.METHODS: we conducted a retrospective study based on analysis of clinical and...
