Article Synopsis
- The study investigated multiorgan failure (MOF) in patients with isolated severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its effect on clinical outcomes.
- Conducted across 52 ICUs in Spain, the research analyzed data from 2,964 patients with significant head injuries, revealing that 6.2% developed MOF during their hospital stay.
- Findings showed that patients with MOF had significantly higher mortality rates, with factors like age and hemodynamic instability identified as key risk indicators for developing MOF.
Our objective was to analyze the contribution of acute kidney injury (AKI) to the mortality of isolated TBI patients and its associated risk factors. Observational, prospective and multicenter registry (RETRAUCI) methods were used, from March 2015 to December 2019. Isolated TBI was defined as abbreviated injury scale (AIS) ≥ 3 head with no additional score ≥ 3.
