Abstract Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of death among adults younger than 45 yr and in children. The majority of TBI is classified as mild, and around 8-10% is classified as moderate or severe. Patients with mild TBI have a good prognosis providing treatable complications are not missed. Overall mortality in this group is around 0.1 % and is associated with missed intra-cranial haemorrhage (Yates et al., 2007). |
