Background - Limited evidence existed on the comparative effectiveness of decompressive craniectomy (DC) versus craniotomy for evacuation of traumatic acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) until the recently published randomised clinical trial RESCUE-ASDH. In this study, that ran concurrently, we aimed to determine current practice patterns and compare outcomes of primary DC versus craniotomy. - Methods - We conducted an analysis of centre treatment preference within the prospective, multicentre, observational Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (known as CENTER-TBI) and NeuroTraumatology Quality Registry (known as Net-QuRe) studies, which enrolled patients throughout Europe and Israel (2014-2020). We included patients with an ASDH who underwent acute neurosurgical evacuation. Patients with severe pre-existing neurological disorders were excluded. In an instrumental variable analysis, we compared outcomes between centres according to treatment preference, measured by the case-mix adjusted proportion DC per centre. The primary outcome was functional outcome rated by the 6-months Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended, estimated with ordinal regression as a common odds ratio (OR), adjusted for prespecified confounders. Variation in centre preference was quantified with the median odds ratio (MOR). CENTER-TBI is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02210221, and the Resource Identification Portal (Research Resource Identifier SCR_015582). - Findings - Between December 19, 2014 and December 17, 2017, 4559 patients with traumatic brain injury were enrolled in CENTER-TBI of whom 336 (7%) underwent acute surgery for ASDH evacuation; 91 (27%) underwent DC and 245 (63%) craniotomy. The proportion primary DC within total acute surgery cases ranged from 6 to 67% with an interquartile range (IQR) of 12-26% among 46 centres; the odds of receiving a DC for prognostically similar patients in one centre versus another randomly selected centre were trebled (adjusted median odds ratio 2.7, p < 0.0001). Higher centre preference for DC over craniotomy was not associated with better functional outcome (adjusted common odds ratio (OR) per 14% [IQR increase] more DC in a centre = 0.9 [95% CI 0.7-1.1], n = 200). Primary DC was associated with more follow-on surgeries and complications [secondary cranial surgery 27% vs. 18%; shunts 11 vs. 5%]; and similar odds of in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR per 14% IQR more primary DC 1.3 [95% CI (1.0-3.4), n = 200]). - Interpretation - We found substantial practice variation in the employment of DC over craniotomy for ASDH. This variation in treatment strategy did not result in different functional outcome. These findings suggest that primary DC should be restricted to salvageable patients in whom immediate replacement of the bone flap is not possible due to intraoperative brain swelling. - Funding - Hersenstichting Nederland for the Dutch NeuroTraumatology Quality Registry and the European Union Seventh Framework Program.

Background - Mitochondria generate energy through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The function of key OXPHOS proteins can be altered by variation in mitochondria-related genes, which may increase the risk of mental illness. We investigated the association of mitochondria-related genes and their genetic risk burden with cognitive performance. - Methods - We leveraged cross-sectional data from 1320 individuals with a severe psychiatric disorder and 466 neurotypical individuals from the PsyCourse Study. The cognitive tests analyzed were the Trail-Making Test, Verbal Digit Span Test, Digit-Symbol Test, and Multiple Choice Vocabulary Intelligence Test. Association analyses between the cognitive tests, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapped to mitochondria-related genes, and their polygenic risk score (PRS) for schizophrenia (SCZ) were performed with PLINK 1.9 and R program. - Results - We found a significant association (FDR-adjusted p < 0.05) in the Cytochrome C Oxidase Assembly Factor 8 (COA8) gene locus of the OXPHOS pathway with the Verbal Digit Span (forward) test. Mitochondrial PRS was not significantly associated with any of the cognitive tests. - Limitations - Moderate statistical power due to relatively small sample size. - Conclusions - COA8 encodes a poorly characterized mitochondrial protein involved in apoptosis. Here, this gene was associated with the Verbal Digit Span (forward) test, which evaluates short-term memory. Our results warrant replication and may lead to better understanding of cognitive impairment in mental disorders.
