Abstract

Abstract Objective To characterize the profile of TBI victims who required neurosurgical approach in two reference hospitals in the metropolitan area of Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and to identify the prognostic increase in the Pupil Reactivity Score when subtracted from the Glasgow Coma Score, found in the Glasgow-P. Additionally, to present demographic, etiological, clinical, and tomographic data, and associate them with the outcome of death. Methods Medical record data and computed tomography (CT) scans of patients with TBI undergoing neurosurgical procedures from January 2014 to April 2019, at 2 reference hospitals in the metropolitan area of Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil – Hospital Regional de São José Dr. Homero de Miranda Gomes (HRSJ-HMG, in the Portuguese acronym) and Hospital Governador Celso Ramos (HGCR, in the Portuguese acronym). Results The results of the 318 cases studied indicated that the male gender predominated (87.7%). The most affected age group was between 35 and 65 years old (47.5%). The main cause was motorcycle accidents (26.1%), followed by a fall from a height (16.4%). Most patients required admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) (85.8%), with an average duration of 13 days. The average total hospital stay was 28 days. Most cases needed external ventricular drain (EVD) (64.8%). The predominant tomographic classification was Marshall II (43.4%), followed by Marshall IV (26.1%). Most patients presented with extra-axial hematoma (64.2%), with subdural hematoma (SDH) being the most frequent (45%). Most patients presented with sequelae at hospital discharge (43.4%). Conclusion There was no clinically relevant increase between the Glasgow and Glasgow-P scores for the tested outcomes (need for decompressive craniectomy, midline shift, presence of basal cisterns obliteration, need for ICU admission, and death).
