Heart rate variability helps predict
paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity
after traumatic brain injury
Non-Cognitive Predictors of Student Success:A Predictive Validity Comparison Between Domestic and International Students
INTRO
• Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) occurs in a subset of TBI patients
• Diagnosed clinically; likely under-recognized• Associated with worse outcomes• Represents an imbalance between sympathetic
and parasympathetic nervous systems• We sought to evaluate whether acute physiologic
changes in markers of sympathetic and parasympathetic function may aid in the identification of PSH prior to its clinical expression in TBI patients
METHODS
1. Case-control study design identified PSH cases matched by ICU admission GCS and age to non-PSH TBI controls (Figure 1, Table 1)
2. ECG data was assessed for time-frequency heart rate variability and waveform analysis over 5-minute epochs for the first 36 hours of admission
3. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) using autoregressive correlation was used to identify features associated with PSH
Early changes in heart rate variability are associated with PSH after TBI

RESULTS
• Heart rate variability features differ over time between cases and controls (Fig 2)
• PSH was diagnosed on hospital day 7 ±4, on average 5 days after physiologic analysis.
• PSH cases have worse neurologic outcomes than age- and severity-matched controls (Fig 3)
CONCLUSIONS• Quantitative measurement of autonomic nervous
system function using continuous physiologic data to model HRV features may aid in the early identification of PSH in TBI patients.
