Outcomes After Tracheostomy in Patients with Severe Acute Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that about one in three patients with SABI who undergo tracheostomy may eventually achieve independence. Future research is needed to understand the reasons for the heterogeneity between studies and to identify those patients with promising outcomes as well as factors influencing outcome.

A Model for Prediction of In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
ConclusionsIn addition to the conventional risk factors for in-hospital mortality, in our study, mortality was associated with the presence of coma at onset of the condition, the physiological variables assessed by means of the APACHE II scale within the first 24  h, and the total SOFA score on day 0. A simple prediction model of mortality was developed with novel parameters assessed on admission, which also assessed organ failure and did not require a previous etiological diagnosis.
