Non‐neurological organ dysfunction is common after traumatic brain injury and is an
independent contributor to morbidity and mortality. It represents a risk factor that is …

Coagulopathy is a common sequela of traumatic brain injury. Consumptive coagulopathy
and secondary hyperfibrinolysis are associated with hypercoagulability. In addition …

Study objectives To determine the relationship between d-dimer (DD) and both
proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, and to confirm the association …

Background Brain injury as well as early inflammatory and endocrine responses were found
to be indicators for infectious complications in patients with multiple injuries. In this context …

Object. The goal of this study was to determine the frequency with which cerebral
intravascular coagulation (IC) complicates traumatic brain injury (TBI). The authors also …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has long been associated with coagulopathy; however, the time
course of coagulation/fibrinolytic parameters in the acute phase of TBI remains unclear. The …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects functioning of various organ systems in the absence of
concomitant non-neurologic organ injury or systemic infection. The systemic manifestations …

Previous studies have demonstrated that patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who also
have progressive hemorrhagic injury (PHI), have a higher risk of clinical deterioration and …

Objective: To determine if D-dimer predicts outcomes in critically ill patients. Design:
Observational, cohort study. Setting: Medical intensive care unit (MICU) of a tertiary care …

Secondary thrombosis may contribute to cerebral ischemia caused by traumatic brain injury
(TBI). In this study, we sought to investigate the temporal and spatial profiles of intravascular …
