Outcome in polytraumatized patients with and without brain injury

Abstract: More than 2 years after injury, polytraumatized patients with and without TBI suffer from a reduction in functional outcome and quality of life, but TBI patients are doing importantly worse. Any comparison of trauma patient cohorts should consider these differences between TBI and NTBI patients. Given their discriminatory potential, the sensitivity of self-reported measures needs further affirmation with neuropsychological assessments.

“…However, the social, functional, and financial circumstances are reduced in patients surviving multiple trauma [23]. Functional recovery after multiple trauma is a long-term process [1] and longterm followup information should include assessments of function as well as quality of life [1,14,23,25].…”

“…As maiores frequências encontradas nesta investigação foram os acidentes de transporte (57,5%) e as quedas (31,0%). Cotejando esses dados com a literatura, observam-se resultados semelhantes quanto a maior prevalência dos acidentes de transporte, como principal causa externa, seguida das quedas, em estudos que analisaram vítimas de trauma admitidas em UTI (3,77,80,83,129) . Outros revelaram que suicídios (102) e assaltos (130) suscederam os acidentes de transporte.…”
