    This study details the National Traumatic Coma Data Bank pilot phase, collecting data on 581 severe traumatic head injury patients. Findings inform prognosis, emergency care impact, and rehabilitation roles for head injury recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Trauma Care
    • Clinical Data Banking

    Background:

    • Severe traumatic head injury poses significant challenges in patient management and prognosis.
    • Existing data on outcomes for severe head injuries are often fragmented.
    • A standardized approach to data collection is needed for comprehensive analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the pilot phase of the National Traumatic Coma Data Bank.
    • To establish a cooperative data collection effort across multiple head injury centers.
    • To gather data for understanding the prognosis, emergency care impact, and rehabilitation needs of severely head-injured patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Data collection from 581 hospitalized patients with severe non-penetrating traumatic head injury.

  • Definition of severe head injury based on Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of ≤8.
  • Development and implementation of a common data collection protocol, definitions, and instruments across six centers starting June 1979.

    • Main Results:

    • Comprehensive data gathered on pre-hospital, emergency room, intensive care, and recovery phases.
    • Patient data collected from the time of injury through the study period.
    • Established a foundation for answering critical questions regarding severe brain injury outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The pilot phase successfully initiated a cooperative data bank for traumatic coma research.
    • The collected data are valuable for neurosurgeons and the public interested in head injury outcomes.
    • Further analysis of this data bank can elucidate factors influencing recovery from severe head injury.
