Recently, a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) by Cooper and colleagues indicated that decompressive craniectomy (DC) may be associated with a worse functional outcome in patients with diffuse traumatic brain injury (TBI), although DC can immediately and constantly reduce intracranial pressure (ICP). As this trial is well planned and of high quality, the unexpected result is meaningful. However, the evidence of the study is insufficient and the effect of DC in severe TBI is still uncertain. Additional multicenter RCTs are necessary to provide class I evidence on the role of DC in the treatment of refractory raised ICP after severe TBI.
最近,库珀(Cooper)及其同事开展的一项多中心随机对照试验(RCT)表明,去骨瓣减压术(DC)可能与弥漫性创伤性脑损伤(TBI)患者的功能结局更差相关,尽管 DC 可立即且持续降低颅内压(ICP)。由于该试验计划周密且质量较高,因此这一意外结果具有意义。然而,该研究的证据尚不充分,DC 在严重 TBI 中的作用仍不确定。需要开展更多的多中心 RCT,以提供关于 DC 在治疗严重 TBI 后难治性 ICP 升高中的作用的 I 类证据。
