Article Synopsis
- The study looks into complications that happen outside the brain in patients who have suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can affect how well they recover.
- Researchers examined data from a trial to find out what specific patient factors lead to these complications, especially in poorer countries.
- The results showed that many patients faced serious problems like infections and breathing issues, and certain treatments like monitoring brain pressure were linked to these complications.
