Steroids for delayed cerebral edema after traumatic brain injury

CONCLUSION: This is the first study to document efficacy of steroids for delayed cerebral edema after TBI, at least in mild/moderate head injuries. The timing of steroid usage and dose of steroids is key aspects that might determine its efficacy in TBI which was the drawbacks of the previous studies. Future prospective trials with the above factors in consideration may confirm/refute above findings.PMID:33654549 | PMC:PMC7911208 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_756_2020
