Summary

This study tested a new blood test (VIDAS TBI) in 903 adults with mild traumatic brain injury (GCS 13-15) to see if it can accurately detect brain damage. The goal is to reduce the need for CT scans, which are costly and expose patients to radiation. The test measures two proteins released after brain injury and could help doctors quickly decide who needs a scan and who can go home safely.
