Optimizing healthcare resources is more important now than ever
Reviewing 2,469 patients, @tdazad @pav_shah+ found only 2.1% of elective craniotomies triaged to non-ICU required care escalation, potential huge savings

In this cohort study, nearly half of the survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage with poor-outcome in the early-phase recovered to a good outcome by 1-year. Including first 30-day events in prognostic models improved prediction of recovery. https://t.co/uQ7IqxCqBD

1/🧵Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) isn’t “Mild” 🧠
Our daughter fell off a high diving board headfirst to cement years ago. Though she had 2 cracks through her foramen magnum, her GCS was 15 & CT had no bleeding.
“She’s OK,” they said.
