Almost half of the patients with moderate TBI had poor neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Several factors including older age, higher CCI, GCS scores of 9 or 10, severe trauma, and mechanical ventilation or craniotomy were found to be associated with poor neurological outcome in patients with moderate TBI. Additionally, these data suggest that tranexamic acid administration and admission to the ICU might be important for improving prognosis. Further investigations are warranted to elucidate the appropriate management for patients with moderate TBI.
