Intracranial pressure monitoring associated with increased mortality in pediatric brain injuries.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Utilization of ICP monitors for pediatric patients is low and varies between centers. We hypothesized that in more severely injured patients (GCS 3-4), there would be a decreased mortality associated with invasive monitoring devices. METHODS:The pediatric Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) was queried for patients aged???16 years meeting criteria for invasive monitors. Our primary outcome was mortality. Patients with ICP monitoring were compared to those without. A logistic regression was used to examine the risk of mortality. RESULTS:Of 3,808 patients, 685 (18.0%) underwent ICP monitoring. ICP monitors were associated with increased risk of mortality (OR 1.82, CI 1.36-2.44, p?
