Black color denotes TBI patients and white color denotes reference patients. The TBI patients were from all three severity groups (mild, moderate, severe) and the reference patients were from three injury types: internal medicine, orthopedic, and neurological (blue box). The main analysis for severity discrimination was on patients for whom GCS scores were available (sub-cohort 1, yellow box) at baseline evaluation and the main analysis for outcome discrimination was on patients that had GOSe available (sub-cohort 2, green box). Most patients belong in both sub-cohorts. For the TBI-reference patient discrimination analysis data from sub-cohort 1 and the control patients were analyzed (yellow box plus blue box). Further sub-populations were examined from sub-cohorts 1 and 2, based on availability of more refined data (extra-cranial injury, propofol administration, protein biomarkers, and variables necessary for the evaluation of the CRASH model). For the full TBI cohort associations between the metabolomic/lipid levels and CT findings were made. Abbreviations: Neuro, patients with acute stroke or other neurological conditions; Internal, acute internal medicine illnesses (e.g., infections, cardiac symptoms, GI-symptoms) (Internal); Ortho, patients with acute orthopedic or other non-brain traumas; mTBI, mild TBI.
