Abstract
METHODS: We did a 2 year (2011-2012) analysis of National Trauma Data Bank.We included all patients with isolated severe TBI (head AIS 3 and other body AIS<3). Patients were divided into two groups: Hypothermic (admission temperature <35 C) and Normothermic (admission temperature 35 C).Our outcome measures were mortality, hospital, and ICU length of stay.We performed missing values analysis and multiple imputation technique to account for missing data. Propensity score matching was performed adjusting for age, gender, race, insurance status, h-AIS, ISS, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation.
