    Early surgery versus conservative treatment in patients with traumatic intracerebral hematoma: a CENTER-TBI study

    Evidence regarding the effect of surgery in traumatic intracerebral hematoma (t-ICH) is limited and relies on the STITCH(Trauma) trial. This study is aimed at comparing the effectiveness of early surgery to co...

    Tackling Neuroinflammation After Traumatic Brain Injury: Complement Inhibition as a Therapy for Secondary Injury

    Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality, sensorimotor morbidity, and neurocognitive disability. Neuroinflammation is one of the key drivers causing secondary brain injury after TBI. Theref...

    Randomized Evaluation of Surgery in Elderly with Traumatic Acute SubDural Hematoma (RESET-ASDH trial): study protocol for a pragmatic randomized controlled trial with multicenter parallel group design

    The rapidly increasing number of elderly (≥ 65 years old) with TBI is accompanied by substantial medical and economic consequences. An ASDH is the most common injury in elderly with TBI and the surgical versus...

    Safety and efficacy of C1-inhibitor in traumatic brain injury (CIAO@TBI): study protocol for a randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial

    Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability across all ages. After the primary impact, the pathophysiologic process of secondary brain injury consists of a neuroinflammation response ...

    Coagulopathy after hemorrhagic traumatic brain injury, an observational study of the incidence and prognosis

    Traumatic brain injury is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Trauma patients with a coagulopathy have a 10-fold increased mortality risk compared to patients without a coagulopathy. The aim...

    Functional and patient-reported outcome versus in-hospital costs after traumatic acute subdural hematoma (t-ASDH): a neurosurgical paradox?

    The decision whether to operate or not in patients with a traumatic acute subdural hematoma (t-ASDH) can, in many cases, be a neurosurgical dilemma. There is a general conception that operating on severe cases...

    Variation in neurosurgical management of traumatic brain injury: a survey in 68 centers participating in the CENTER-TBI study

    Neurosurgical management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is challenging, with only low-quality evidence. We aimed to explore differences in neurosurgical strategies for TBI across Europe.
