Czorlich P, et al. – In this retrospective cohort analysis, the researchers intended to assess the influence of body mass index (BMI) on mortality and early neurologic outcome in patients suffering from severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) with a special focus on obesity classes II and III (BMI ≥35). The data presented in this work showed a BMI ≥35 was an independent predictor of mortality and was related to an inferior early functional neurologic outcome.
