Prediction of Secondary Neurological Deterioration in Patients With Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury

University Hospital, Brest142 enrolled

Overview

Patients with moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are 1,5 times more frequent than those with severe TBI and some of them will develop secondary neurologic deterioration (SND) within the first 7 days. However, identifying at risk patients of SND is still challenging. This study aimed to determine risk factors associated with SND after mTBI.
