Intracranial pathology (CT+) in Emergency Department patients with high GCS and high Standard Assessment of Concussion (SAC) scores
Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation May 14, 2018
Curley KC, et al. - In this prospective observational study, the researchers intended to prove that a subpopulation of patients with mild/moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) had intracranial pathology despite having a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 15 and a Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) score of 25 or higher. Individuals were people between the ages of 18 and 85 years admitted to a taking part ED having sustained a closed head injury within the prior 72 hours and a GCS score of 13 to 15 at the time of enrollment. The data presented in this work showed a normal GCS score and a SAC score did not exclude the possibility of significant intracranial injury.
