Abstrakt: Background: There is skepticism about the benefit of surgery in elderly patients affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to the negative effect of age on the outcome and surgical complications. However, there are few studies that have investigated differences in patient's outcome between surgically and conservatively managed patients after adjusting for the imbalance in preinjury characteristics and clinical and radiological features. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of early surgery on mortality and functional recovery in a cohort of older adults with acute traumatic intracranial lesions after adjustment by Propensity Score (PS) matching.     MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study on older adult patients (≥ 65 years) admitted for TBI between 2013 and 2023 to a single level 1 trauma center. Patients were categorized based on whether they underwent early surgery (< 48 h after TBI) for a space-occupying lesion evacuation. PS model was constructed based on age, frailty, comorbidities (Charlson comorbity index and American Society of Anaesthesiologists score), anticoagulants, hypoxia, shock, pupillary abnormalities and GCS motor response upon admission, midline shift, basal cistern effacement, volume of subdural and intracerebral hematomas, and limitation of life-sustaining treatment decisions.The effect of early surgery on 30-day mortality and unfavorable functional outcomes (GOSE 1-3) at 6 and 12 months were investigated after matching by paired test.
Results: We identified and reviewed 301 patients who met all inclusion criteria and contained no exclusions. After matching, 62 patients (31 pairs of conservative and surgical patients) remained as the matched datasets. Our key finding was that older adult TBI patients who underwent early surgery had a statistically significant reduction in the risk of 30-day mortality (OR 0.313, 95% CI 0.114-0.853, p = 0.023) and unfaourable outcome at 12 months after TBI (OR 0.286, 95% CI 0.094-0.868, p = 0.027).
Conclusions: Early surgery was associated with decreased 30-day mortality and better functional outcome at 12 months after TBI in older adults with few comorbidities and good functionality when clinically affected by acute traumatic intracranial lesions with mass effect.
