Decannulation represents a critical step in recovery, with its success strongly influenced by the underlying indication for tracheostomy and the patient\u2019s clinical profile. Successful decannulation requires careful assessment of multiple factors, including respiratory function and underlying pathology. This scoping review aims to identify and categorize these predictive factors, crucial for optimizing decannulation protocols and patient outcomes. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, EBSCOhost, and Scopus databases (22 February 2025\u20133 March 2025) to identify studies regarding predictors of successful decannulation. Studies examining physiological, clinical, and demographic factors associated with decannulation outcomes were included. Data were extracted using a standardized form and synthesized narratively. Results: Fifty studies reported a male representation averaging 67% of the total patient population, comprising 2238 males and 1281 females aged 50\u201370 with acquired brain injuries, employing retrospective and prospective designs. Positive decannulation outcomes correlate with strong cough, effective secretion management, younger age, and robust neurological status. Adverse events were generally mild, with recannulation being infrequent. Conversely, advanced age, chronic lung disease, a high body mass index, and prolonged mechanical ventilation negatively influence decannulation success. Conclusions: It was highlighted that successful decannulation is the result of various physiological, clinical, and demographic factors. Significantly, strong respiratory function, demonstrated by powerful cough reflexes and efficient secretion control, stands out as a fundamental predictive factor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14113798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,28]],"date-time":"2025-05-28T12:28:42Z","timestamp":1748435322000},"page":"3798","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Predictive Factors of Successful Decannulation in Tracheostomy Patients: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5012-4425","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Calderone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Serena","family":"Filoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Neuro-Rehabilitation, IRCCS \u201cCasa Sollievo della Sofferenza\u201d, 71013 San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9503-4366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosaria","family":"De Luca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4862-3832","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Corallo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3608-6657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosalia","family":"Calapai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5982-8725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessio","family":"Mirabile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabrizia","family":"Caminiti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valeria","family":"Conti-Nibali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelo","family":"Quartarone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8566-3166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rocco Salvatore","family":"Calabr\u00f2","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmela","family":"Rifici","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo, S.S. 113 Via Palermo, C.da Casazza, 98124 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Raimonde, A.J., Westhoven, N., and Winters, R.
