Road traffic accidents were the leading cause of injury (68.7%) and death (75.9%). TBIs were classified as mild (50.5%), moderate (21.2%), and severe (28.3%). Eighty percent of patients with TBIs who were referred to neurosurgery received opinions within 2 hours, with no significant association with mortality rate. Compared to patients with mild\/moderate TBI, those with severe TBI had shorter median times before receiving neurosurgical opinions and CT scan reports. Delays in CT scan reports resulted in prolonged times to receive neurosurgical management. Most patients were managed without neurosurgical operative intervention, with subsequent neurosurgical interventions linked to a higher mortality rate (HR 6.08, p &lt; 0.001). The inpatient mortality rate was 29.3%, mainly from severe TBIs (69%). Patients needing intracranial pressure monitoring had higher inpatient mortality (p &lt; 0.001). Deteriorating Glasgow Coma Scale scores prior to intervention, typically due to inadequate vital sign stabilization, predicted significantly lower survival rates (52% vs 82%, p = 0.0019).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with TBI in our cohort faced delays in three main areas: lengthy referral pathways, late stabilization of vital signs and intracranial pressure, and initial neurosurgical management. Developing strategies to mitigate these delays in care will be a crucial factor in reducing neurological morbidity and mortality for patients with TBI seeking treatment in resource-limited settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2024.12.focus24785","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,1]],"date-time":"2025-03-01T04:32:44Z","timestamp":1740803564000},"page":"E3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Epidemiology and delays in neurosurgical care among patients with traumatic brain injury in a regional referral hospital in Sri Lanka: a retrospective cohort study"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Shereen X.
