Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with high rates of long-term disability and mortality. Extracranial injuries, especially chest injuries, increase the mortality in TBI. It has been estimated that up to 30% of TBI patients have concomitant chest injuries. TBI alone has mortality of 30%. TBI with chest injuries can cause mortality up to 80% with average of 43%. Chest trauma alone has a mortality rate of 22-26% globally
