Video Summary
Dr. Andreas Dimitriadis from the United Kingdom presents on concomitant cranial spinal trauma in his systematic review. By analyzing 21 observational studies, Dimitriadis found that the prevalence of concomitant cervical spine injury in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) was 6.5%, rising to 11.7% for those involved in motor vehicle accidents. In contrast, the prevalence of any spinal injury in TBI patients was 12.5%. For patients with cervical spine injury, the prevalence of TBI was 40%, compared to 32% for any spinal injury. Dimitriadis emphasizes the importance of larger, comprehensive studies to address the knowledge gap in this area. No additional credits were given.
