To characterize admission patterns, treatments and outcomes among patients with moderate traumatic brain injury. Retrospective cohort study. National Trauma Data Bank. Adults (age > 18 years) with moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI ICD 9 codes and admission Glasgow Coma Scale score of 9-13) in the National Trauma Data Bank between 2007 and 2014. none. Demographics, mechanism of injury, hospital course, and facility characteristics were examined. Admission characteristics associated with discharge outcomes were analyzed using multivariable Poisson regression models. Of 114,066 patients, most were white (62%), male (69%), and had median admission GCS 12 (IQR 10-13). Seventy-seven percent had isolated TBI. Concussion, which accounted for 25% of moderate TBI, was the most frequent TBI diagnosis. Fourteen percent received mechanical ventilation and 66% were admitted to intensive care unit. Over 50% received care at a community hospital. Seven percent died and 32% had a poor outcome, including those with GCS 13. Compared to patients 18-44 years, patients 45-64 years were twice as likely (aRR 1.97; 95% CI 1.92-2.02), and patients over 80 years were five times as likely (aRR 4.66; 95% CI 4.55-4.76) to have a poor outcome. Patients with a poor discharge outcome were more likely to have had hypotension at admission (aRR 1.10; 95% CI: 1.06-1.14), lower admission GCS (aRR 1.37; 95% CI: 1.34-1.40), higher ISS (aRR 2.97; 95% CI: 2.86-3.09), and polytrauma (aRR 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02-1.07), compared to those without poor discharge outcomes. Many patients with moderate TBI deteriorate, require neurocritical care, and experience poor outcomes. Optimization of care, and outcomes for this vulnerable group of patients are urgently needed.
