Abstract：Objective To explore the risk factors for posttraumatic cerebral infarction (PTCI) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). Methods The clinical data of 172 patients with sTBI treated from January, 2015 to December, 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The risk factors for PTCI were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results Of 172 patients with sTBI, 44 developed PTCI and 128 not. Logistic regression analysis showed that brain herniation, diffuse brain swelling and hemorrhagic shock were independent risk factors for PTCI. Conclusions The independent risk factors in the patients with sTBI for PTCI include the brain herniation diffuse brain swelling and hemorrhagic shock.
