ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), which is a common reason for people to visit the emergency room. The main goal of the trial is to create a scoring system that can help predict whether a patient with mTBI might develop serious brain injuries that could require surgery. Researchers will look at data from adults aged 15 and older who visited the emergency department in Stockholm, Sweden, within 24 hours of their injury and had a specific level of consciousness. They will use advanced computer models to analyze the information collected from these patients.

To participate in this study, individuals must meet certain criteria: they need to be 15 years or older, have come to the emergency department shortly after their injury, and have a specific score that indicates their level of consciousness. Participants will undergo a CT scan to check for any brain injuries. The findings from this study could help improve how doctors assess and treat patients with mTBI in the future, making it easier to identify those who may need further medical attention.
