Clinical Significance of the Control CT Rotterdam Score Compared With the Admission CT Rotterdam Score in Patients With Isolated Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in the Intensive Care Unit.

Background: The Rotterdam scale is one of the most commonly used radiological scales for evaluating and predicting outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases. Given the evolving nature of TBI, our study is designed to compare the Rotterdam score of computed tomography (CT) findings upon admission (Rotterdam score I) with the score after 72 hours (Rotterdam score II) of treatment in the trauma intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on 54 patients who received intensive care treatment for isolated severe TBI over five years.
