Abstract：Objective The effects of bilateral decompressive craniectomy after traumatic brain injury on the intracranial pressure and the prognosis were investigated by using the Meta-analysis.Methods Chinese database,such as,CNKI,Wanfang database and Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) were searched for the key words.Filtering the articles was performed by two staff members with the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and then extracted the data in this study as required.Stata 14.0 Software was used to analyze the extracted data.Results Bilateral decompressive craniectomy effectiveness risk difference (RD) was 0.22 with 95％ confidence interval (CI) (0.16 ～0.28),and the mortality risk ratio (RR) was 0.48 with 95％ CI (0.35 ～0.67).Conclusion Bilateral decompressive craniectomy can significantly increase the efficiency of surgery,reduce the post-operative mortality and improve the prognosis of surgical treatment.
