Traumatic Brain Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
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.
