This study aimed to clarify the prognostic factors for tracheostomy early decannulation in patients with acquired brain injuries. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of inpatients with acquired brain injuries who underwent successful tracheostomy decannulation between March 2021 and June 2022. Fifty-six patients were included; median age was 68 (59\u201372) years; 28 (50%) were men; 28 (50%) underwent tracheostomy due to stroke. The median time to decannulation was 47 days. The patients were divided into the early and the late decannulation groups based on the median time, and compared. In univariate analysis, the early decannulation group had a higher BMI, peak cough flow, and acquired brain injuries due to trauma, and a lower penetration-aspiration scale score, duration of antibiotic use, and duration of oxygen use. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that a higher initial peak cough flow [hazard ratio (HR) 1.142; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.912\u20130.954; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u2005&lt;\u20050.001] and lower duration of oxygen use (HR 0.930; 95% CI 0.502\u20130.864; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u2005=\u20050.016) were independent factors for early tracheostomy decannulation, with each unit increase in peak cough flow corresponding to a 14.2% increase and each additional day of duration of oxygen use corresponding to a 7.0% decrease in the likelihood of early decannulation. In conclusion, key prognostic factors for early tracheostomy decannulation were identified as the initial cough strength and duration of oxygen use. These results could play important role in decannulation plans for patients with tracheostomy tube.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/mrr.0000000000000618","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,7]],"date-time":"2024-03-07T17:11:00Z","timestamp":1709831460000},"page":"97-102","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Prognostic
