Depressed Skull fractures: Timing of surgery, systemic inflammatory response, intraoperative blood loss, surgical site infection, and post-traumatic seizures - (DESTINE study)
REFNo: HS1284ES

5) To compare the risk of developing a delayed PTE up to 6 months of postoperative period between early and delayed surgery of DSFs ,4) To compare the risk of SSI within 3 months of postoperative period between early and delayed surgery of DSFs ,3) To compare the volume of intraoperative blood loss during the elevation of the DSFs between early and delayed surgery ,2) To compare the changes of serum levels of inflammatory cytokines among TBI patients regarding the timing of the elevation of DSFs ,1) To describe the epidemiology, clinical and radiological presentations of patients with DSFs ,This study aims to determine whether the timing of surgery of DSFs has a relationship with the changes of the biological markers of SIR, the risk of excessive intraoperative blood loss, the occurrence of SSI, and the incidence of PTE; this could optimize the clinical management of patients with head trauma in LMIC settings.,
