Outcomes, prognostic factors, and the role of intracranial pressure monitoring in severe community-acquired bacterial meningitis: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.
The Lancet regional health. Europe·September 1, 2026·PMID 42436935
Why it mattersSevere bacterial meningitis in ICU patients carries high mortality and disability, yet evidence on invasive intracranial pressure monitoring is limited. This large real-world study provides contemporary outcome data and suggests that invasive monitoring does not improve prognosis, helping clinicians weigh its use in critically ill patients.
