Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and its incidence is increasing. TBI often leads to significant impairments across multiple functional domains. In moderate to severe TBI, the advent of high-density physiology monitoring systems has enabled large-scale data collection that await deep analytics and informatics-based approaches to determine trajectories of care and predict multidimensional outcomes. In mild TBI, recent data suggest that lasting deficits may remain in certain subpopulations, with a range of risk factors that await characterization and predictive modeling. The relevance of brain-specific and systemic biomarkers, as well as advanced neuroimaging, for improving diagnostic criteria, injury severity stratification, and favorability of recovery have evolved and remain active arenas for qualifying diagnostic and prognostic utility. Guidelines for proper follow-up in TBI remain lacking; however, recent progress has been made and warrants updated discussions. This Special Issue intends to capture recent advances across the spectrum of TBI heterogeneity and severity, from prevention to outcome optimization, in order to establish a compendium of work capable of informing and improving TBI clinical care.
