Résumé
Temporal muscle thickness (TMT) on cranial CT scans has recently been identified as a prognostic imaging parameter for assessing a patient's baseline frailty. Here, we analyzed whether TMT correlates with Traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity and whether it can be used to predict outcome(s) after TBI. We analyzed the radiological and clinical data sets of 193 patients with TBI who were admitted to our institution and correlated the radiological data with clinical outcomes after stratification for TMT. Our analyses showed a significant association between high TMT and increased risk for intracranial hemorrhage ( High TMT was robustly associated with head trauma sequelae but was also associated with good clinical outcomes in TBI patients. These findings consolidate the significance of TMT as an objective marker of frailty in TBI patients; such measurements may ultimately be leveraged as prognostic indicators.

High TMT was robustly associated with head trauma sequelae but was also associated with good clinical outcomes in TBI patients. These findings consolidate the significance of TMT as an objective marker of frailty in TBI patients; such measurements may ultimately be leveraged as prognostic indicators.
