Meta AnalysisNeurological manifestations in COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Following the outbreak of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), there is strong evidence of neurological involvement in these patients. We aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of neurological manifestations in COVID-19. ⋯ Stroke is the most frequently reported neurological manifestation in COVID-19 and has the highest mortality rate. Neurological manifestations tend to develop one to two weeks after the onset of respiratory disease. There is significant morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19 neurological manifestations.

Meta AnalysisModerate hypothermia treatment in adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury: a meta-analysis.
To evaluate the effect of moderate hypothermia treatment (MHT) in severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) compared to normothermia management. ⋯ MHT may be effective in reducing death and unfavourable clinical neurological outcomes, but this finding is not statistically significant, except for decreasing the mortality in Asian patients.

Review Meta AnalysisMeta-analysis of Glasgow coma scale and simplified motor score in predicting traumatic brain injury outcomes.
To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the simplified motor score (SMS) and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in predicting outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). ⋯ In patients with TBI, SMS predicts different outcomes with similar accuracy as GCS except mortality. However, due to heterogeneity and limited numbers of studies, further prospective studies are required.

Review Meta Analysis Comparative StudyMortality among older adults after a traumatic brain injury: a meta-analysis.
To examine mortality rates among older adults (≥60 years) post-traumatic brain injury (TBI). ⋯ These mortality rates associated with moderate and severe injuries may be attributed to complications, chronic disease prevalence, conservative management techniques or the consequences of biological ageing.

Review Meta AnalysisMagnesium sulphate in the management of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage: a meta-analysis of prospective controlled trials.
Experimental and clinical studies have suggested that magnesium has neuroprotective and vasodilatation properties. A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of intravenous magnesium therapy in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). ⋯ The meta-analysis suggests that intravenous magnesium therapy reduces the risk of DCI and poor outcome after aneurysmal SAH. Serum magnesium should be routinely monitored for both effectiveness and safety considerations.
