Object Fever and hypothermia (dysthermia) are associated with poor outcomes in patients
with brain injuries. The authors sought to study the epidemiology of dysthermia on …

Purpose: To test the hypothesis that fever was more frequent in critically ill patients with
brain injury when compared to nonneurological patients and to study its effect on in-hospital …

Elevated temperature in patients with brain injury has been linked to increased hospital and
intensive care unit lengths of stay, increased morbidity, greater disability, and higher …

Fever in the neurocritical care setting is common and has a negative impact on outcome of
all disease types. Meta-analyses have demonstrated that fever at onset and in the acute …

Fever has been shown to be related to extended hospital stays in neurologically injured
patients. We performed meta-analyses of the impact of fever on length of stay (LOS) in the …

Background Fever suppression may be beneficial for patients with traumatic brain injury
(TBI) and stroke, but for patients with meningitis or encephalitis [central nervous system …

BACKGROUND Fever is strongly associated with poor outcome after traumatic brain injury
(TBI). We hypothesized that early fever is a direct result of brain injury and thus would be …

Introduction Recent information has emerged regarding the harmful effects of spontaneous
hypothermia at time of admission in trauma patients. However the volume of evidence …

OBJECTIVE: In patients with traumatic or ischemic brain injury, hyperthermia is thought to
worsen the neurological injury. We studied fever in the neurosurgical intensive care unit …

Background and Purpose—Many studies associate fever with poor outcome in patients with
neurological injury, but this relationship is blurred by divergence in populations and …
