What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess whether monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) can improve treatment outcomes for patients with moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) in China. It involves a multi-center approach where patients will be evaluated based on their neurological outcomes at six months post-injury using the extended Glasgow outcome score (GOSE). The decision to monitor ICP will be made by the patients' relatives, and treatment will follow existing protocols in participating hospitals. The study will compare outcomes between patients who receive ICP monitoring and those who do not.
