Abstract:Background:
Hematoma expansion is a common manifestation of acute intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) which is associated with poor outcomes and functional status.
Objective
We determined the prevalence of expansive intracranial hematomas (EIH) and assessed the predictive model for EIH occurrence and surgical evacuation outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Uganda.
Methods
We recruited adult patients with TBI with intracranial hematomas in a prospective cohort study. Data analysis using logist… Show more
