Caring for traumatic brain injury in children can be a challenge!

Traumatic brain injury is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in children. However, it is still challengeable to early predict the outcome of individual patients with severe head injuries. Glasgow outcome scale is the most widely used scoring system in evaluating neurological outcome for head injury patients. Moreover, it is likely to underestimate morbidity and is not always readily applicable in children. It is an important issue to develop a practical, reliable and valid neurological outcome instrument in children in forwarding research.
