ObjectiveTo determine the predictive powers of intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) amongst severely brain injured children.Materials And MethodsICP and CPP were recorded from thirty-five severely brain injured children who were prospectively recruited after admission to paediatric intensive care. Twenty-five suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI) and ten suffered non-TBI. Peak ICP and minimum CPP recorded for each patient during their admission were related to 5 year Glasgow Outcome Scale outcome. Receiver operator characteristic curves determined that the optimum threshold for unfavourable outcome prediction was >or=40 mmHg for ICP and
