Abstract

Our ability to predict outcomes following severe traumatic brain injury is currently limited. This article reviews the current parameters used in prediction, looks at recent innovations such as the Corticosteroid Randomization after Significant Head Injury and International Mission on Prognosis and Analysis of Clinical Trials in Traumatic Brain Injury online tools, and reviews novel parameters with the potential to refine those predictions. At present, these tools fail to be of significant assistance at the individual patient level. The current relatively limited nature of commonly used outcome measures also is discussed, and the consideration of assessment for other forms of outcomes is proposed.
