Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is well recognized as the primary cause of mortality and impairment in cases of pediatric trauma. TBI is the prevailing cause of both disability and mortality associated with trauma in children within industrialized nations. The objective of this research was to identify radiological and clinical criteria indicators that might serve as prognostic factors for pediatric patients with severe and moderate TBI. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on hundred fifty pediatric individuals younger than eighteen years old with severe and moderate TBI within twenty-four hours. The obtained computerized tomography (CT) and clinical data findings were compared with outcome and the outcome categorized into unfavourable and favourable. Unfavourable defined as death, deterioration in Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and discharge with severe disability. Favourable defined as discharging without complications. Results: GSC, hypotension, hypoxia, unequal pupil, WBCs, and some of the CT findings were demonstrated to be statistically important linked with unfavourable findings. Conclusions: Low initial GCS score, Hypotension, hypoxia, unequal pupil, hemiplegia, and the presence of midline shift or subdural haemorrhage of five mm or more in the initial CT were found to be poor prognostic factors.

“…There is loss of consciousness lasting for 30 min or less, posttraumatic amnesia, and/or alteration of consciousness lasting for 24 hr or less, normal imaging findings, and Glasgow Coma Scale score ≥13 at worst within the 1st hour (The Management of Concussion/mTBI Working Group, 2009). This is the most common form of head trauma globally (Hyder et al, 2007;Jochems et al, 2021), which can affect people of all ages due to its many causes, including falls, sports, and motor vehicle accidents (Brazinova et al, 2021;Peeters et al, 2017).…”

Objective: The relevance of detecting feigning on neuropsychological evaluations of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients has been increasing as studies alert to the tendency to overreport symptoms of TBI for attaining different kinds of compensation. Considering this, the main goal of this study was to explore which instruments and tasks have been used to evaluate feigning of TBI-related neuropsychological deficits malingering and whether these instruments effectively detect instructed feigning of this symptomatology when compared to bona fide TBI patients. Method: A systematic review supported by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis for Protocols and Cochrane guidelines was performed. Thirty-one studies focused on examining the differences between instructed malingerers and TBI patients were included. Results: The results show that the tasks used to assess malingering are diverse and not only specifically designed for this purpose. The most frequently used instrument was the Test of Memory Malingering and other instruments or tasks that involve some aspect of memory functioning. Additionally, it was also found a significant difference between the performance of the instructed malingerers and TBI patients across all the included studies, with a general tendency of malingerers to perform worse and report more symptoms than patients. Conclusion: This review highlights the effectiveness of Symptom and Performance Validity Tests in evaluating the overall credibility of reported TBIrelated symptomatology, which is increased by combining two or more instruments or tasks. Public Significance StatementTraumatic brain injuries are commonly related to a legal assessment of the credibility of the symptomatology reported by the patient. This study intends to support health care practitioners, specifically neuropsychologists, in their practices of evaluating the overall credibility of reported symptomatology following a TBI. It highlights the relevance of combining more than one instrument for increasing the accuracy of the evaluation.
