Methods： Retrospective study of 520 patients with traumatic brain injury were included, 308 male and 212 female. The risky factors of intracranial infection were identified. Results： Thirty two cases （6.54%, 321520） of intracranial infection were diagnosed, lntracranial infection most likely happened 4-10 days after injury. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage, drainage, multiple craniotomies were significant related to intracranial infection. Logistic regression predicted cerebrospinal fluid leakage and drainage as independent factors. Conclusion： Intracranial infection is a serious complication after traumatic brain injury, Patients with drainage or cerebrospinal fluid leakage are more risky for intracranial infection, Aggressive precaution should be taken to better outcome.展开更多

Therefore, antifibrinolytic agents such as tranexamic acid （TA） might reduce traumatic ICH. The aim of the present study was to investigate the extent of ICH growth after TA administration in TBI patients. Methods： This single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients with traumatic ICH （with less than 30 ml） referring to the emergency department of Vali-Asr Hospital, Arak, Iran in 2014. Patients, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were divided into intervention and control groups （40 patients each）. All patients received a conservative treatment for ICH, as well as either intravenous TA or placebo. The extent of ICH growth as the primary outcome was measured by brain cr scan after 48 h. Results： Although brain CT scan showed a significant increase in hemorrhage volume in both groups after 48 h, it was significantly less in the TA group than in the control group （p = 0.04）. The mean total hemorrhage expansion was （1.7 ± 9.7） ml and （4.3 ± 12.9） ml in TA and placebo groups, respectively （p 〈 0.001）. Conclusion： It has been established that TA, as an effective hospital-based treatment for acute TBI, could reduce ICH growth. Larger studies are needed to compare the effectiveness of different doses.展开更多
