Identifying the Influence of Lung-Related Injuries and Other Factors on Delirium in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: A National Analysis

These results emphasize the intimate relationship of the brain and pulmonary system. Future prospective studies are needed to validate these findings as they may impact TBI management and outcomes.
