Systolic blood pressure lower than the heart rate indicates a poor outcome in patients with severe isolated traumatic brain injury: A cross-sectional study
2019
Abstract Background A systolic blood pressure (SBP) lower than the heart rate (HR) could indicate a poor condition in trauma patients. In such scenarios, the reversed shock index (RSI) is Methods This retrospective study reviewed 1,216 hospitalized adult patients with isolated TBI at a Level I trauma center between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2015. The patients were grouped and analyzed according to RSI ( 8) were also compared. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The odds ratios (ORs) of categorical variables were calculated by chi-square tests with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Mann–Whitney U-tests were used to analyze non-normally distributed continuous data. Results Among patients with isolated TBI, those with an RSI CI : 5.36-20.75; P Conclusion Patients with isolated TBI may be at risk for shock. In trauma patients with severe isolated TBI, an SBP lower than the HR indicates a poor outcome.
