Prediction of outcome after moderate and severe traumatic brain injury

Outcome prediction in moderate and severe traumatic brain injury: a focus on computed tomography variables.

BACKGROUND With this study we aimed to design validated outcome prediction models in moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) using demographic, clinical, and radiological parameters. METHODS Seven hundred consecutive moderate or severe TBI patients were included in this observational prospective cohort study. After inclusion, clinical data were collected, initial head computed tomogr...

Prediction of clinical outcome in severe traumatic brain injury.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the main cause of death and disability in adults worldwide. Early detection of TBI would be useful for evaluating and designing treatment strategies. Both single predictors from early clinical examination and multiple hospitalization variables/parameters can be used to determine the long-term prognosis of TBI. Predictive models like the IMPACT or CRASH prognosis ...

cerebellar atrophy after moderate-to-severe pediatric traumatic brain injury.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although the cerebellum has not attracted the same degree of attention as cortical areas and the hippocampus in traumatic brain injury (TBI) literature, there is limited structural and functional imaging evidence that the cerebellum is also vulnerable to insult. The cerebellum is emerging as part of a frontocerebellar system that, when disrupted, results in significant co...
