For all correlations in this table, exact p values are presented and p values≥0.10 are reported as not significant (NS). Using the false discovery rate procedure described by Benjamni and Hochberg26 for the families of correlations in this table, a p value≤0.015 is considered significant. GCS refers to the Glasgow Coma Scale score at time of trauma triage.

a

This is the Bigler version of the Marshall CT classification scheme.

b

Lesion volume is the sum of the volume of epidural and subdural hematomas, and intraparenchymal hemorrhages in cm3 as measured on the initial CT scan.
