Study Summary
Background: Patients with mild blunt traumatic brain injury (TBI) are frequently transferred to Level 1 trauma centers (L1TC) if they have any positive finding of any acute intracranial injury identified on a CT scan of the head. The hypothesis for the study is that patients with such injuries and minor changes on the Head CT scan can be safely managed at community hospitals (CH). Methods: Patients with blunt, mild TBI (defined as a GCS 13-15 at presentation) presenting to CH, L1TC, and transferred from CH to L1TC between March, 2012 and February, 2014 were included. Minor changes on head CT were defined as: 1) epidural hematoma\<2mm; 2) subarachnoid hemorrhage\<2mm; 3) subdural hematoma\<4mm; 4) intraparenchymal hemorrhage\<5mm; 5) minor pneumocephalus; or 6) linear or minimally depressed skull fracture. TBI-specific interventions were defined as intracranial pressure monitor placement, administration of hyperosmolar therapy, or neurosurgical operation. Three groups of patients were compared: 1) those receiving treatment at CH, 2) those transferred from CH to L1TC, and 3) those presenting directly to L1TC. The primary endpoint was the need for TBI-specific intervention and secondary outcome was death of any patient.
