| Description | Advanced age is reported to be an important negative prognostic factor for the final functional outcome in patients after craniocerebral injury. In the group of 246 patients with craniocerbral injury operated on between 2007 and 2011, the authors focused on the influence of age (145 patients < 60 years, 101 patients > 60 years) on the final clinical outcome (using the Glasgow Outcome Scale). The impact of age on the final treatment outcome in patients with craniocerebral injury was proven. The study did not show significant deleterious effect of alcohol intoxication at the time of injury on the final outcome. |
