Head injury at the southeastern Georgia Regional Trauma Center: a three-year review.
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.
