Incarceration Status is Associated With Rates of Operative Neurosurgical Intervention and Inpatient Mortality After Traumatic Brain Injury
Incarceration status was independently associated with increased inpatient mortality after TBI and reduced likelihood of operative neurosurgical intervention. These findings highlight critical disparities in neurosurgical care for incarcerated individuals with TBI, underscoring the need for policy and institutional reforms to ensure equitable treatment.
