BACKGROUND: Expeditious care within minutes of severe injury improves outcome and is
the driving force for development of trauma care systems. Transition from hospital care to�…

Objectives: We analyzed a prospective database of pediatric traumatic brain injury patients
to identify predictors of outcome and describe the change in function over time. We�…

Objective: To investigate the relationship between injury severity variables, particularly time
to follow commands (TFC) and long-term functional outcomes in paediatric traumatic brain�…

OBJECTIVE Evidence shows mixed efficacy of applying guidelines for the treatment of
traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children. A multidisciplinary team at a children's health system�…

OBJECT The goal of critical care in treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) is to reduce

Why is acute rehabilitation critical for a child or adolescent? Medical professionals, family
members, and even the child may wonder why referral for daily therapy is necessary. Family�…

After pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), early prognosis of expected function is important
for optimizing care. The power of several common brain injury severity measures for�…

Objective: To evaluate the utility of time to follow commands (TFC) in predicting functional
outcome after pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), as assessed by an outcome measure�…
