Abstract

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health issue worldwide, with high rates of mortality and morbidity despite advances in medical and surgical management. Lactate and hypocalcaemia are emerging as potential prognostic factors in severe TBI, with several studies suggesting that their measurement may help predict outcomes and guide management strategies. Further research is needed to confirm these associations and elucidate the underlying mechanisms
