New treatment option for Traumatic Brain Injury
Official title Evaluation of the Abbott i-STAT TBI Biomarker Test
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06766435
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 200,000 hospitalizations occurred in 2020 related to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), which does not include many TBIs treated only in emergency departments, urgent care, primary care, or that are not evaluated by a clinician. Head CT is a critical component of care for severe TBI, however in mild TBI there is practice variation with a wider risk to benefit estimation for obtaining head CT imaging.
