title: Head injury at the southeastern Georgia Regional Trauma Center: a three-year review.
abstract: The impact of head injury on our trauma center is significant because of the large number of cases with their heavy utilization of trauma center resources. Head injury also exerts a major influence on the Trauma Center in a rural area since it serves as a major provider of care for the head injured over a wide geographical area. Mortality rates seen in this population compare favorably with contemporary data from other studies using GCS and Head AIS as indicators of level of injury.
