Mortality predictors for head trauma patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at patients with a traumatic brain injury to find factors that predict death. It may help doctors better understand who is at highest risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 16 years old.
- You have a traumatic brain injury (head trauma).
- You came to the emergency room within 24 hours of the injury.
- Your level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale) is less than 15.
- You do not have a history of neurological disorders (like epilepsy or Parkinson's).
- You have not had a cardiac arrest and your GCS is not 3 (completely unresponsive).

This study compares different scoring methods to estimate early brain injury when people are admitted to the ICU after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors choose the best early assessment approach for patients who are in a coma.
This study looks at how well two scoring systems (Revised Trauma Score and Glasgow Coma Scale) can predict the risk of death in people with severe injuries from accidents or violence. It aims to help doctors identify who needs the most intensive care.
This study tests a special brain-monitoring system in the ICU for people with severe brain injuries. It aims to give doctors early warnings about changes in the brain and help predict recovery, which may improve treatment and outcomes.
This study looks at whether simple scores taken when you arrive at the emergency room can predict how well you will do after a chest injury. It may help doctors understand how serious your injury is and guide your care.
This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
This study looks at whether a simple scoring tool can predict the chance of survival or death in people who have experienced a traumatic injury. It aims to help doctors make quicker and better decisions in emergency situations.
