Management of Penetrating Traumatic Brain Injury: Operative versus Non-Operative Intervention
2021, Journal of Surgical ResearchCitation Excerpt :Among pTBI patients who reach the emergency department, Aarabi et al.15 found a 61% mortality rate with the remainder having a “good” outcome at 3 y. Despite this, many providers question the use of aggressive management in this population.16-18 Furthermore, several studies have shown that victims of pTBI who present with a GCS ≥6 have a high incidence of survival and reasonable chance of a meaningful outcome.14,19,20 Current data are limited that assesses mortality in pTBI patients with varying GCS scores stratified by intervention method.

2019, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Additionally, suicide attempts carry high mortality because of the close-range injury.5 Aldrich et al. analyzed the role of early hypotension in patients with pTBI.27 They reported that 84% of those with early hypotension died compared to 76% of patients with no hypotension.
