Prognostic Value of Initial Diagnostic Imaging Findings for Patient Outcomes in Adult Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

In meta-analysis, only SDH with mortality in all TBI patients had a moderate but significant association. Given the small number of studies, additional research focused on initial imaging, particularly for imaging modalities other than NECT, is required in order to confirm the findings of our meta-analysis and to further evaluate the association of imaging findings and outcome.
