Bolatkale M, et al. - Researchers investigated the predictive value of the number of intracranial foreign bodies (FBs) on mortality in penetrating brain injury (PBI) in the Emergency Department. They examined intracranial number of FB by brain computed tomography in 95 patients admitted with PBI caused by barrel bomb explosion. Outcomes suggested significantly increased mortality in patients with PBI when the intracranial number of FB was >2. Thus they suggested considering the intracranial number of FBs as a novel prognostic factor for the prediction of mortality in PBI.
