Abstract
Neurotrauma (NT) is one of the common causes of mortality and morbidity. Investigating the role of people who had an impact on the development of knowledge of NT is reasonable. Our aim is to investigate the role of Bizhan Aarabi, professor of Neurosurgery, on the knowledge development in NT. Accordingly, we searched the Scopus database for Bizhan Aarabi on August 8, 2020 and selected papers with at least 10 citations, investigating his impact on NT and details of his publications. He has published 168 papers including original articles, reviews, conference papers, letters, and editorials according to the Scopus databases. There are 112 papers with 10 or more citations. Thirty-eight out of 112 papers (33.9%) were in the first and the highest rank journal: 29 in Neurosurgery and 9 in the Journal of Neurotrauma. Twenty-four papers have the level of evidence (LOE) of "1". Bizhan Arabi developed knowledge in NT especially in the cervical spine/spinal cord trauma and brain injury and his publications are references for spine/neurosurgeons.
Highlights
Neurotrauma (NT) is known as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality within communities, especially in younger ages.[1]
This study suggests that there is a direct correlation between first-year outcome and initial AIS grade and ASIA Motor Score (AMS) while an inverse correlation was seen between outcome and age and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals.[53]
Their work on the field of traumatic brain injury (TBI) led to an evidence-based approach to the rescue surgical interventions,[36,37,38] diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to vascular injury,[55,56,57,58,59] and infectious complications[17] following penetrating TBI. They showed that the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Extended Glasgow Outcome Score (GOSE) are two outcome predictors in patients suffering TBI.[16,60]
