Poor outcome was associated with AASBP < 75th percentile (odds ratio, 4.2; 95% confidence interval, 2.1-8.3). Patients with systolic blood pressure (SBP) > or = 90 mm Hg and AASBP < 75th percentile had a higher odds for poor outcome compared with patients with SBP > or = 90 mm Hg and AASBP > or = 75th percentile (odds ratio, 3.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-7.3). CONCLUSION AASBP < 75th percentile was associated with poor outcome after severe pediatric TBI, even when SBP was > or = 90 mm Hg.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
