    This study analyzed 331 post-traumatic coma cases, finding that while many survived, psychosocial factors significantly influenced their quality of life and societal reintegration, not just physical recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Trauma Care
    • Clinical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Post-traumatic coma presents a significant challenge in neurosurgery.
    • Understanding long-term outcomes is crucial for patient management and rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical course and survival outcomes of patients with post-traumatic coma.
    • To identify factors influencing the quality of survival and societal reintegration.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 331 post-traumatic coma cases.
    • Data collected over a two-year period (1970-1971).
    • Evaluation of mortality, survival rates, and functional outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • 42% of patients died due to trauma-related causes.

  • 40% of survivors achieved complete societal reintegration.
  • 18% survived with reduced social function or exclusion.

    • Conclusions:

    • Survival quality in post-traumatic coma is multifactorial.
    • Psychosocial factors play a critical role alongside organic sequelae.
    • Effective management requires addressing both physical and psychosocial aspects.
