Initial hypotension, Glasgow Coma Scale, and Injury Severity Score are independent predictors of outcome in children with traumatic brain injury. Threshold values can be calculated for predicting poor outcome. These variables can be easily and detected early in this population and used for quality assessment.

This pilot study highlights the role of naturalistic assessments, to complement standardized tests in assessing patients' dysexecutive impairments in complex activities of daily living post-childhood TBI.
