Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in Traumatic Brain Injury
The overall goal of Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in Traumatic Brain Injury (TRACK-TBI) study is to determine the relationships among the clinical, neuroimaging, cognitive, genetic and proteomic biomarker characteristics for the entire spectrum of TBI from concussion to coma. TRACK-TBI will validate biomarkers and outcome measures for clinical trials, advance diagnostic and prognostic models for TBI and improve clinical trial design. The Investigators are enrolling patients within 24 hours of injury who present to a TRACK-TBI site with a brain injury that meets ACRM criteria and receives a clinically indicated head CT.
• Age 18-100 (some sites also enrolling pediatric patients)
• Documented/verified TBI by ACRM Criteria
• Injury occurred within 24 hours of ED arrival
• Acute brain CT as part of clinical care
• Visual acuity and hearing adequate for outcomes testing
• Fluency in English (some sites also enrolling Spanish speakers)
