More than half of patients with mild traumatic brain injury who presented to the ED did not see a health care practitioner in the 3 months following the TBI, according to findings recently reported in JAMA Network Open.

“While patients with moderate to severe TBI are almost always admitted to a hospital or ICU for close monitoring and intervention, there is considerably less consensus as to best practices for patients with [mild] TBI,” Seth A. Seabury, PhD, of the department of ophthalmology at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, and colleagues wrote.
