All Adult Patients Admitted to theHMPIT ICU for Management of Head Trauma

Brief summary

The aim of this study is to describe the quality of life of CT patients in our study, at least 6 months after the occurrence of the trauma. This assessment is related to the patient's degree of sequelae, using the GOSE scale.

Detailed description

The assessment of patients quality of life would appear to be a particularly relevant tool in the ongoing drive to improve the quality of care. Thus, we should no longer simply assess how patients should feel, based on objective biomedical criteria, but how they actually perceive themselves, based on subjective criteria. This is particularly true in the case of traumatic brain injury , which is a high-incidence pathology with significant morbidity and mortality consequences that can lead to permanent sequelae . While research over the past 30 years has focused on the neuropsychological and functional outcomes of this event, less is known about the views of head injury survivors and their families on their quality of life, subjective well-being and related factors. The aim of this study is to describe the quality of life of CT patients at least 6 months after the trauma. This assessment is related to the patient's degree of sequelae, using the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended GOSE.
