OR, Odds ratio; CI, Confidence intervals.

*

Logistic regressions were performed separately for discharge status and separately for complete independence scores of each domain. Each model was adjusted for age, sex, race, co-morbidities, injury mechanisms, presence of extra-cranial injuries, NISS, length of hospital stay, trauma center, and hospital trauma level.

Sensitivity analyses were performed assigning the missing data in functional status scores to the worst outcome (functional status score equal to 1).

Complete Independence score is the best functional outcome or a functional independence measure score equal to 4 in each domain.

§

Isolated severe adult traumatic brain injury patients were defined as SATBI patients without other injuries or with extra-cranial injuries with maximum AIS of 1.
