RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To identify the factors associated with the intra-hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS: The sample included patients with TBI admitted to the ICU consecutively in a period of one year. It was defined as variables the epidemiological characteristics, factors associated with trauma and variables arising from clinical management in the ICU. RESULTS: The sample included 87 TBI patients with a mean age of 28.93 ± 12.72 years, predominantly male (88.5%). The intra-hospital mortality rate was of 33.33%. The initial univariate analysis showed a significant correlation of intra-hospital death and the following variables: the reported use of alcohol (p = 0.016), hemotransfusion during hospitalization (p = 0.036), and mechanical ventilation time (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: After multivariate analysis, the factors associated with intra-hospital mortality in TBI patients admitted to the intensive care unit were the administration of hemocomponents and mechanical ventilation time.

RESUMO Objetivo Identificar os fatores associados à mortalidade intra-hospitalar em pacientes com TCE internados em unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI). Métodos A amostra incluiu pacientes com TCE internados na UTI em um período de um ano. Foi definido como variáveis as características epidemiológicas, os fatores associados ao trauma e variáveis decorrentes dos cuidados clínicos na UTI. Resultados A amostra incluiu 87 pacientes com TCE, com idade média de 28,93 ± 12,72 anos, predominantemente do sexo masculino (88,5%). A taxa de mortalidade intra-hospitalar foi de 33,33%. A análise univariada inicial mostrou uma correlação significativa de morte intra-hospitalar e as seguintes variáveis: relato de uso de álcool (p = 0,016), hemotransfusão durante a internação (p = 0,036) e tempo de ventilação mecânica (p = 0,002). Conclusão Após análise multivariada, os fatores associados à mortalidade intra-hospitalar em pacientes com TCE internados na unidade de cuidados intensivos foram a administração de hemocomponentes e tempo de ventilação mecânica.
