Table 2. Comparing outcome predictor models for TBI IMPACT = International Mission for Prognosis and Analysis of Clinical Trials in TBI; CRASH = Corticosteroid Randomization After Significant Head Injury; CT = computed tomography; Hgb = hemoglobin; *CT findings in the extended IMPACT models = diffuse brain injury, evacuated vs... non-evacuated hemorrhage, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, epidural mass; **CT findings in the extended CRASH model = midline shift, petechial hemorrhages, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, obliteration of the 3rd ventricle or basal cisterns, non-evacuated hemorrhage; ***CT findings in the Brazilian model = Marshall classification.
