DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Management of intracranial hypertension (ICH) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is crucial to their survival and optimal recovery The evidence-based Guidelines for the Management of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury, 3rd Edition, recommends the use of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitors to assess ICH and to know when and how to intervene. Unfortunately, in most areas of the world there is no access to ICP monitor technology. This means that most people with severe TBI are treated without use of ICP monitoring. There are no guidelines and no literature on how to treat severe TBI without use of ICP monitors. The objective of this project is to create guidelines for the treatment of severe TBI in the absence of ICP monitoring and to test them. We propose to derive these guidelines by working with a team of clinicians that practice in austere environments in low-to-middle income countries (LMICs) and who routinely make decisions based either on a treatment protocol, their clinical experience, or both. We will use a new, systematic and innovative technology and process to accomplish consensus for the guidelines among the clinicians. We will implement the Consensus-Based Guidelines (CBG) in resource-poor centers, some of which have prior exposure to less well developed ad hoc protocols for treatment of TBI, and others that do not have prior exposure. We will test the influence of the CBG on outcomes of severe TBI in a before/after design in these two sets of centers. In the first two years, patients will be treated according to the ad hoc protocol or according to individual clinician best judgment. Then the Guidelines will be developed, all sites will be trained in their use, and they will be used to guid treatment in all sites for the next 2 years. We will evaluate the effect of using an ad hoc protoco by comparing outcomes between the two sets of centers before the Guidelines are developed. In each set of centers we will evaluate the effect of using the consensus-based guideline protocol compared to either no protocol or the ad hoc protocol by comparing the outcomes in the first and second periods. Finally, we will evaluate how much more the consensus-based protocol effects outcome than the ad hoc protocol by comparing the difference from the first to the second period between the two sets of sites In accomplishing the study objectives, we will create and test a guideline for the treatment of severe TBI that could be used globally to improve outcomes for these patients. We will validate in LMICs a new, systematic and innovative technology and process to accomplish consensus that was derived in an HIC. Finally, we will train personnel in centers new to research in how to conduct high-quality scientific studies, and will extend the training for the personnel with whom we have been working, solidifying previous capacity-building efforts, and initiating new efforts.

描述（由申请人提供）：严重创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者的颅内高压（ICH）管理对于他们的生存和最佳康复至关重要基于证据的严重创伤性脑损伤管理指南，第3版，建议使用颅内压（ICP）监测仪来评估ICH并了解何时以及如何干预。不幸的是，世界上大多数地区无法获得国际比较方案监测技术。这意味着大多数患有严重TBI的人在没有使用ICP监测的情况下进行治疗。没有关于如何在不使用ICP监测器的情况下治疗严重TBI的指南和文献。该项目的目标是为严重TBI的治疗制定指南 在没有颅内压监测的情况下，并对其进行测试。我们建议通过与一组在中低收入国家（LMICs）严峻环境中执业的临床医生合作来制定这些指南，这些临床医生通常根据治疗方案或临床经验或两者做出决定。我们将使用一种新的、系统的和创新的技术和流程来实现临床医生对指南的共识。我们将在资源匮乏的中心实施基于数据的指南（CBG），其中一些中心之前曾接触过不太发达的TBI治疗方案，而其他中心则没有接触过。我们将在这两组中心的前/后设计中测试CBG对严重TBI结局的影响。在前两年，患者将根据特设方案或根据个体临床医生的最佳判断进行治疗。然后将制定指南，所有研究中心将接受使用指南的培训，并将在未来2年内用于指导所有研究中心的治疗。在指南制定之前，我们将通过比较两组中心的结果来评估使用特设方案的效果。在每组中心中，我们将通过比较第一阶段和第二阶段的结局，评价使用基于共识的指南方案与无方案或临时方案相比的效果。最后，我们将通过比较两组研究中心之间第一阶段到第二阶段的差异，评估基于共识的方案比临时方案对结局的影响程度。在实现研究目标的过程中，我们将创建和测试一个治疗严重TBI的指南，该指南可在全球范围内用于改善这些患者的结局。我们将在LMIC中验证一种新的、系统的和创新的技术和流程，以实现在HIC中得出的共识。最后，我们将培训新研究中心的人员如何进行高质量的科学研究，并将扩大对我们一直合作的人员的培训，巩固以前的能力建设努力，并开始新的努力。
