Key Points

  • This analysis aims to evaluate the accuracy of computerized tomography scoring systems for predicting outcomes in traumatic brain injury among different age groups.
  • Compared various CT-based prognostic models for outcome prediction.
  • Focused on young and older adult populations.
  • Findings reveal CT-based models are less accurate for older adults compared to younger patients.
  • The Helsinki CT score emerged as the most effective tool for predicting mortality and unfavorable outcomes across age groups.

Abstract

CT-based prognostic models show reduced accuracy in older adults compared with younger patients. Among the evaluated tools, the Helsinki CT score provided the most reliable prediction of mortality and unfavorable outcome across age groups, including the older adults.
