Acute Neuroendocrine Profile in Predicting Outcomes in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Study from a Tertiary Care Center in South India
Abstract
Background: Pituitary dysfunction following severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is significant and may be correlated with the outcomes. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the early changes in pituitary hormone levels after sTBI and to correlate with outcomes in terms of severity and mortality. Methods: This was a prospective, observational study, involving consecutive patients of 16–60 years, with sTBI (Glasgow Coma Scale GCS < 9) presenting to the hospital within 24 h of trauma. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Serum samples were collected in the morning (08–10 am) on day 1 and day 4 for cortisol, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and prolactin (Chemiluminescence immunoassay). Outcome was assessed in terms of mortality (which included both immediate and at 3 months) and Glasgow outcome scale at 3 months. Results: 54 patients were studied. Mean cortisol on day 4 was 28.5 µg/dL in alive patients and 13.7 µg/dL in patients deceased at 3 months (P < 0.001). Patients who were deceased at 3 months had significantly lower T3 on day 4 (0.973 vs 1.4 ng/dL) and lower T4 (8.1 µg/L vs 6.1 µg/dL) as compared to patients who survived (P = 0.049 and 0.005, respectively). Acute phase TSH on day 4 levels were significantly lower in patients deceased at 3 months. There was no significant difference in the prolactin levels. Conclusion: Day 4 cortisol, T3, T4, and TSH correlated with the outcomes at 3 months and hence have predictive value post-sTBI.

In the citing paper
“The predictive power of cortisol is further supported by the findings of Kumar et al., who demonstrated positive correlation between mean cortisol on day 4 and survival at 3 months (Vishwa Kumar et al., 2021).”

In the citing paper
“Specifically, lower levels of TSH, fT4, and fT3 observed on day 4, especially with the absence of increasing trends in these hormones were linked to poorer outcomes (measured by the Glasgow Outcome Scale) at 3 months (Vishwa Kumar et al., 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
