Summary

Severe brain injuries (SBI) in children are concerning, with high ICP and low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores indicating poor prognosis. Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) on MRI is also a significant negative prognostic factor.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Neurocritical Care

Background:

  • Severe brain injuries (SBI) in children present significant management challenges.
  • Prognostic factors for pediatric SBI require further elucidation to optimize patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key prognostic factors in pediatric severe brain injuries.
  • To correlate clinical and imaging findings with outcomes in children with SBI.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 85 pediatric SBI cases (GCS ≤ 8).
  • Evaluation of Intracranial Pressure (ICP), admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), CT/MRI findings, and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS).

Main Results:

  • Overall mortality rate of 25.9% observed.

  • Elevated ICP (≥ 20 mmHg) and low admission GCS were significant negative prognostic indicators.
  • Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) identified on MRI correlated with poorer outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • ICP, GCS on admission, and DAI on MRI are critical prognostic factors in pediatric SBI.
    • Politrauma context exacerbates SBI prognosis in children.
    • Prehospital care and transport conditions may influence admission GCS and overall prognosis.
