TBI
COMPLICATIONS
Patients with severe TBI usually stay in the hospital for a long time, and the hospitalization cost is large. If complications and prognosis are improved, postoperative hospital stays and hospitalization costs would decrease significantly. So, postoperative hospital stays and hospitalization costs were important assessment criteria. This study investigated the disparity in the total length of hospitalization, duration of ICU stay, and healthcare expenses between patients from the 2 groups.
