When TBI is involved, ISS tends to be higher compared to similar patients in the absence of TBI. However, TBI patients did not demonstrate an increased inflammatory cellular response compared to non-TBI patients. Therefore, TBI does not add much to the inflammatory cellular response in trauma patients. The degree of the inflammatory response was related to the incidence of infectious complications.
