ABSTRACT

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common and critical illness in pediatrics,and it is also an important cause of death and disability in children. TBI may cause hyperglycemia,which may be related to stress,inflammation,pituitary function and iatrogenic factors. Hyperglycemia is closely related to the mortality and outcome of children with TBI. However strict glycemic control did not achieve good effects in patients with TBI.
