Background: For those less than 45 years old, traumatic brain injury (TBI) ranks first when it comes to causing death and disability. poses a significant threat to public health and places a heavy financial strain on people and countries alike. This research set out to identify factors that might have an impact on the prognosis and longevity of patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy (DC) after a TBI. Methods: This retrospective study was performed after collection of the medical records of 113 patients from which data on demographics, clinical presentations, comorbidities, vital signs, initial neurological status, time of operation, results from radiologic testing, and outcomes were retrieved and examined retrospectively. We gathered all of the patients' medical and radiological records who had DC for TBI.
