The Use of Rotterdam CT Score for Prediction of Outcomes in Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury Patients Admitted to Emergency Service

Abstract

With the adequate use of GCS and cerebral computed tomography imaging, pediatric patients with a higher risk of mortality and need for surgery can be predicted. We recommend the follow-up of pediatric traumatic brain injury patients with repeated CT scans to observe alterations in Rotterdam CT scores, which may be predictive for the need for surgery and intensive care.
