No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aims of this retrospective and monocentric observational study are: to describe patient characteristics and clinical management of patients with traumatic brain injury taking antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation drugs; to estimate the proportion of patients who suffer an adverse outcome; to assess the risk for serious events (intracranial haemorrhage, in-hospital mortality, need for surgery); to identify potential predictors of outcome and assess potential differences between anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy.

All patients with mild brain injury and anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy who underwent a head computed tomography (CT) scan admitted to the emergency department (ED) of the University Hospital of Padova, Italy, from 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2020.
