Use of Rotterdam CT Scores for Mortality Risk Stratification in Children With Traumatic Brain Injury.
The Rotterdam CT score refined features of the Marshall score and was designed to categorize traumatic brain injury type and severity in adults. The objective of this study was to determine whether the Rotterdam CT score can be used for mortality risk stratification after pediatric traumatic brain injury. ⋯ Children with traumatic brain injury have better survival than adults in Rotterdam CT score categories representing less severe injuries but worse survival than adults in higher score categories. A novel, validated pediatric mortality model based on the Rotterdam score is accurate in children with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury and can be used for risk stratification.
