This near-nationwide, population-based study evaluated outcomes following cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy using 15 years of cranial reconstruction data from Sweden. The investigation examined postoperative complications and functional outcomes, including factors associated with subsequent neurosurgical interventions. Relevant outcomes included hydrocephalus, shunt placement, complications following cranial reconstruction and patient characteristics associated with adverse outcomes. The study addresses an important stage of neurosurgical care because decompressive craniectomy may control life-threatening intracranial hypertension but leaves a cranial defect requiring subsequent reconstruction in suitable patients. Cranioplasty restores cranial protection and may influence neurological recovery, while complications can result in additional procedures, prolonged hospitalisation and delayed rehabilitation. The population-based design offers an opportunity to evaluate outcomes across a broader clinical setting than a single-centre case series. The article is particularly relevant to neurosurgeons involved in traumatic brain injury, cranial reconstruction and postoperative management.

New research reveals that non-ablative radiotherapy suppresses ventricular tachycardia by increasing conduction velocity via NaV1.5 upregulation and action potential prolongation. However, sustained sodium current elevation and depressed calcium handling highlight the need for careful clinical translation.
