Abstract

BACKGROUND: The treatment and care of adults and children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitute an intractable global health problem. Predicting the prognosis and length of hospital stay of patients with TBI may improve therapeutic effects and significantly reduce societal health care burden. Applying novel machine learning methods to the field of TBI may be valuable for determining the prognosis and cost-effectiveness of clinical treatment.
