Clinical Advances in Traumatic Brain Injury

Dear Colleagues,

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global public health problem. Every year, over 69 million TBI cases are reported worldwide. TBI affects patients in high- and low–middle-income countries and across different age groups. Despite decades of research, guidelines and recommendations, several questions remain unanswered:

1. What is the optimal management of care for patients with TBI? Are we providing care concordant with the latest evidence, guidelines and recommendations?
2. How can we advance the care of patients with TBI in resource-limited clinical settings? What are the challenges in adapting guidelines across different resource settings?
3. Are we providing safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable care to our patients with TBI?
4. What are the principles of TBI care in the emergency room, the intensive care unit and the operating room? How similar or different are these?
5. What is the role of multimodal monitoring?
6. What are the advances in neuro prognostication after TBI? There is continued interest in when and how we should prognosticate. What direction does the evidence point us to?

In this Special Issue, we aim to discuss these areas and invite a broad panel of experts to contribute.
