Cover Story: Millions of persons experience mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) each year, yet there is no widely accepted systematic method to evaluate this patient population. Individuals experiencing concussion may have long-term symptoms and sequelae. Assessment of mTBI in the Emergency Department varies and follow-up is often limited. Neuroimaging results are frequently normal. There are few effective medical interventions for mTBI. Accurate, sensitive and rapid point-of-care blood biomarker tests for mTBI have the potential to be useful in improving prediction of prognosis, outcome and efficacy of treatment. Further, a large database might be created using biomarkers and other key information gathered on patients with mTBI. Such a database could yield objective, consistent criteria to better understand mTBI. View this paper
