Résumé

Trauma triggers a systemic inflammatory cellular response due to tissue damage, potentially leading to a secondary immune deficiency. Trauma severity is quantified by the Injury Severity Score (ISS). Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is associated with high ISSs due to high lethality, despite limited tissue damage. Therefore, ISS might overestimate the post-traumatic inflammatory cellular response. This study investigated the effect of TBI on the occurrence of different systemic neutrophil phenotypes as alternative read-out for systemic inflammation. A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted at a level-1 trauma center. Patients aged ≥ 18 years, admitted between 01-03-2021-01-11-2022 and providing a diagnostic blood sample were included. Four groups were created: isolated TBI, isolated non-TBI, multitrauma TBI and multitrauma non-TBI. Primary outcome was occurrence of different neutrophil phenotypes determined by automated flow cytometry. Secondary outcome was infectious complications. In total, 404 patients were included. TBI and non-TBI patients demonstrated similar occurrences of different neutrophil phenotypes. However, isolated TBI patients had higher ISSs than their isolated non-TBI controls who suffered similar post-traumatic inflammatory cellular responses. Regardless of the type of injury, patients exhibiting higher systemic inflammation had a high infection risk. When TBI is involved, ISS tends to be higher compared to similar patients in the absence of TBI. However, TBI patients did not demonstrate an increased inflammatory cellular response compared to non-TBI patients. Therefore, TBI does not add much to the inflammatory cellular response in trauma patients. The degree of the inflammatory response was related to the incidence of infectious complications.
