High early phase hemoglobin level is associated with favorable neurological outcome in patients with severe traumatic brain injury
The appropriate hemoglobin (Hb) level threshold for the early phase (i.e. from Emergency Department to ICU admission) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is still unknown. Therefore, we aimed to examine the association between Hb levels during the early phase and neurological outcomes in patients with severe TBI using data from the Brain Hypothermia (B-HYPO) Study Group.
