Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main study endpoints are genetic factors, clinical, biochemical and inflammatory markers. All parameters will be correlated to - determinants of primary injury (GCS at presentation, CT-findings) - determinants of secondary injury (hemodynamic, clinical and neurological parameters after admission to ICU) - MRI findings at 3 weeks and 6 months - Outcome (as determined by the extended Glasgow Outcome Score at 6 and 12 months post injury) - Neuropsychological testing at 3 weeks, 6 and 12 months post injury - Parasympathetic activity (measured using heart rate variability)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary objective of this study is to gain more insight in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the primary impact and subsequent ongoing cascade of events associated with secondary brain injury and development of edema. Special attention will be given to biochemical markers of brain injury and to inflammatory and vasogenic proteins and the possible modulating role of increased vagal activity in these patients.
