Scores in Critically Ill Patients After Craniotomy

Overview

This study planned to review patients admitted to three ICU wards at Beijing Tiantan Hospital between 2017 and 2020. It focused on adult patients who had undergone craniotomy and stayed in the ICU for more than 24 hours. Researchers intended to collect patient information, surgery details, complications, and outcomes from medical records. They also planned to gather routine scoring data used at the hospital and double-check its accuracy. Patients would be divided into two groups based on whether they survived or not, and the ability of different scoring systems to predict outcomes would be analyzed. Additionally, the study aimed to group patients by the type of surgery and assess how well the scoring systems predicted outcomes for each group.

This study would screen patients admitted to three ICU wards at Beijing Tiantan Hospital from 2017 to 2020. Adult postoperative craniotomy patients with an ICU stay of more than 24 hours would be included. Baseline information, surgery-related data, complications, and outcomes would be retrospectively collected. Routine scoring assessments conducted at our center would be gathered, and researchers would verify the accuracy of the scoring data. Based on patient outcomes, the cohort would be divided into a mortality group and a survival group. The predictive value of different scoring systems for patient outcomes would be evaluated. Additionally, patients would be grouped according to surgical indications, and the predictive value of the scoring systems for outcomes in patients with different surgical indications would be assessed.
