Variability in input parameters and post-injury mortality rate in mouse weight-drop TBI studies reported in the literature. (A) Graph illustrates variation in the two most commonly reported input parameters, drop height and drop mass. (B) Theoretical values of input energy associated with the drop height. (C) Variation in mortality rate associated with input energy is shown. Data were collected from the following studies (Manaka and Sano, 1978; Takahashi et al., 1981; Hall, 1985a; Hall, 1985b; Antal et al., 1992; Chen et al., 1996; Chen et al., 1997; Tang et al., 1997a; Tang et al., 1997b; DeFord et al., 2002; Tehranian et al., 2002; Beni-Adani et al., 2003; Pan et al., 2003; Zohar et al., 2003; Creeley et al., 2004; Milman et al., 2005; Tsenter et al., 2008; Israelsson et al., 2009; Kane et al., 2012; Zohar et al., 2011; Albert-Weißenberger et al., 2012).
