Real Time Vital Sign Assessment to Predict Neurological Decline After Traumatic Brain Injury

This study will look to validate predictive algorithms developed in a previous study where we collected relevant data from trauma registry and after using advanced signal-processing and machine-learning, determined prediction scores regarding neuroworsening and other outcomes following traumatic brain injury.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Neurological Decline

Time frame: First 48 hours of injury

Neurological decline is defined as a worsening in neurological status determined by a 2 point decline GCS, pupillary change, radiographic worsening defined by Rotterdam score, need for neurological or neurosurgical intervention (eg. treatment of seizure, raised ICP, hematoma evacuation)
