predictors of outcome are not precise enough to guide initial clinical decision-making.
Although increasingly used in the early phase following traumatic brain injury, the prognostic
utility of MRI remains uncertain. We thus undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of
studies evaluating the predictive value of acute MRI lesion patterns for discriminating clinical
outcome in traumatic brain injury. Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS, and …
