- Results showed that the five AF CCIM physicians in the partnership managed 2,019 critical care encounters in 206 days, with a higher percentage (63.1%) of those classified as high acuity compared to overall MTF encounters (28.9%) and CCIM
Background: Brain Injury Guidelines (BIG) were developed to stratify traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) by severity to decrease unnecessary CT imaging and neurosurgical consultation in low-risk cases.

Methods: Isolated TBIs (<18 years) were queried from our Pediatric Trauma Registry from 2017 to 2020.
