Puntos clave

• This research aims to evaluate the incidence and clinical impact of ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients with traumatic brain injury.
• Conducted a single-center retrospective study
• Evaluated mechanically ventilated patients with TBI
• Analyzed clinical outcomes related to VAP incidence
