In these cases, criteria for head imaging frequently not fulfilled. This may lead to missed diagnoses emergency care. There need developing rapid diagnostic test verify presence TBI using body fluids. Blood, urine, saliva samples from 11 adult patients (mean age 64 years, SD 24 years) clinically diagnosed TBI, 12 healthy...
Diagnosing mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the acute setting is challenging due to nonspecific and often transient or delayed symptoms.
