Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1) Neurological status (GOS, mRs) before and after 1st and 2nd surgery and at time of re-presentation 2) Overall mortality: death within a period of 3 months ± 14 d after cranioplasty intervention 3) Surgical revision within a period of 3 months ± 14 d after cranioplasty intervention

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Patient satisfaction after cranioplasty surgery 2) Time to bone flap re-implantation (cranioplasty) 3.) Rate of surgery-related complications of both procedures (craniectomy and cranioplasty) detected up to 30 days after surgery 4) Quality indicators of surgery
