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 two scoring systems, the Revised Trauma Score and the Glasgow Coma Scale, to see how well they predict survival in people with serious injuries from accidents or violence. If you are over 18 and have been treated for multiple serious injuries, this research might help doctors better understand your chances of recovery.
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 is testing a new way to predict recovery for people with serious brain injuries in the ICU. It uses continuous brain monitoring to gather more information and help doctors make better treatment decisions.
Researchers want to see if certain injury scores can predict how well trauma patients will do. You may be asked to join this study if you come to the emergency room with an injury and agree to have your scores calculated.
This study checks vital signs (like heart rate and breathing) in the first hours after a traumatic brain injury to predict whether neurological function may decline. It may help doctors spot patients at higher risk sooner and adjust care earlier.
