Conclusions. Traumatic brain injuries in males were three times more frequent than in females. The age group of 20–59 years was prevalent. The most frequent cause of trauma was fall. Mild traumatic brain injuries (GCS 15–13) prevailed in Vilnius among the in-hospital patients. Three quarters of the outcomes were very good. Half of the patients brought in with three-point coma did not survive. The following early prognostic factors of traumatic brain injury were approved: GCS score, age, pupils diameter and light reflex, CT features. It was established that hospitalization of mild traumatic brain injuries in Lithuania was more frequent than in neurosurgical departments of other countries. |
