重度创伤性脑损伤患者发病率和死亡率相关危险因素：一项荟萃分析

The present study aimed to clarify the onset of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and identify mortality-related risk factors in patients with severe TBI, to enable the early identification of high-risk individuals and timely implementation of prevention and treatment strategies to minimize mortality rates. Comprehensive database searches were conducted across Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL and EMBASE, covering publications from database inception until October 17, 2023. Search terms in English included 'head trauma', 'brain trauma', 'mortality', 'death' and 'risk factor'. In total, two independent researchers screened and extracted the data on mortality onset and associated risk factors in patients with severe TBI. Meta-analysis was performed using R 4.2.2. A total of 33 cohort studies, including 71,718 patients with severe TBI, were selected for meta-analysis. The data indicated an overall mortality rate of 27.8% (95%CI: 22.5-33.2%) from database inception until October 17, 2023. Subgroup analysis revealed a mortality rate of 25.2% (95%CI: 20.2-30.1%) in developed countries, compared with 38.0% (95%CI: 21.4-54.7%) in developing countries. Additionally, the mean age of deceased patients was significantly higher compared with that of survivors (41.53±16.47). Key risk factors found to be associated with mortality included anemia [relative risk (RR), 1.42; 95%CI, 1.04-1.93], diabetes mellitus (RR, 1.40; 95%CI, 1.00-1.96), coagulopathy (RR, 4.31; 95%CI, 2.31-8.05), shock (RR, 3.41; 95%CI, 2.31-5.04) and systolic blood pressure≤90 mmHg (RR, 2.32; 95%CI, 1.65-3.27). Furthermore, pre-hospital intubation (RR, 1.48; 95%CI, 1.13-1.92),hypotension (RR, 2.04; 95%CI: 1.58, 2.63), hypoxemia (RR, 1.42; 95%CI: 1.13, 1.79), subdural hemorrhage (RR, 1.99; 95%CI: 1.50, 2.62), subarachnoid hemorrhage (RR, 1.64; 95%CI: 1.09, 2.47) and subdural hematoma (SDH; RR, 1.50; 95%CI: 1.04, 2.17). was identified to be a significant risk factor during hospitalization treatment. These results suggest that various factors, such as age, anemia, diabetes, shock, hypotension, hypoxemia, trauma scores and brain injury types, can all contribute to mortality risk in patients with severe TBI. Addressing these risk factors will likely be important for reducing mortality in this patient population.
