Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation was to identify the clinical and radiological predictors of outcome including (age, GCS, RTS, GAP, CT finding, systemic injuries, mode of trauma and pupil reactivity) in patients with isolated head trauma presented to the Emergency Department at Alexandria Main University Hospital.

Keywords:

Traumatic brain injury, outcome, prediction.
