Normative Modeling Exposes Hidden Individual Variability in Traumatic Brain Injury: A New Frontier for Personalized Neuroimaging Assessment

A landmark study of 631 participants reveals that normative modeling uncovers substantial individual heterogeneity in brain morphology following traumatic brain injury that conventional group-based analyses miss, with every patient exhibiting unique neuroanatomical deviation patterns that correlate with injury severity.

Rising Hospital Mortality and Escalating Rates of Life-Sustaining Therapy Withdrawal in Critically Ill TBI Patients: A 15-Year Analysis

A 15-year observational study of over 45,000 TBI patients reveals a significant increase in hospital mortality and a tripling of life-sustaining therapy withdrawal, alongside rising rates of hypoxaemia, raising urgent questions about ethical frameworks and neurocritical care management.

Prehospital Postintubation Hypotension Strongly Linked to 30‑Day Mortality After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury — Especially in Isolated TBI

A multicenter cohort study of 555 patients with severe TBI who underwent prehospital rapid sequence induction found postintubation hypotension (SBP <90 mmHg within 10 minutes) in 19.1%, which was associated with higher 30‑day mortality (AOR 1.70). The association was markedly stronger in isolated TBI (AOR 13.55).
