Overview

Prospective cohort analysis reveals a 26.2% mortality rate in war-related traumatic brain injury cases, highlighting resource limitations in Gaza.

Key Points

  • 30-day mortality among patients with war-related TBI in Gaza was 26.2%, indicating severe outcomes in conflict zones.
  • Severe traumatic brain injury (GCS ≤ 8) was significantly linked to increased mortality, with p < 0.001 capting severity impact.
  • A prospective cohort study was conducted across two neurosurgical centers in Gaza, detailing demographics and outcomes.
  • Increased mortality rates are tied to numerous factors including age, brain injuries, and the extent of damage in patients.
