Evaluating complications in a South African neurocritical care unit: A 1-year retrospective audit

This study provides valuable insight into the burden and nature of complications encountered in a resource-constrained neurocritical care setting. By systematically identifying and quantifying clinical complications over a defined period, the article highlights critical areas for intervention and quality improvement. It contributes to the global body of neurocritical care literature by offering context-specific data from a low- to middle-income country, thereby addressing a significant gap in regional and global neurocritical care outcomes research. The findings support the development of targeted strategies to enhance patient safety, optimise resource use, and improve clinical outcomes in similar healthcare environments.
