New evidence continues to drive the evolution of updated severe traumatic brain injury guidelines. These guideline recommendations are used for the medical management of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The Brain Trauma Foundation’s  (BTF) guidelines are is on its 4th Edition; globally recognized.

A new study reviewed the BTF’s severe TBI guidelines for the past 20 years

The authors of the study concluded a need for the traumatic brain injury research to generate more high-quality evidence . The evidence should lead to clinically applicable recommendations that will benefit patients.

“This paper provides an excellent look at the continuing refinement of our processes for evaluating published evidence and then incorporating that evidence into clinical guidelines,” said Alex Valadka, Deputy Editor of Journal of Neurotrauma. “It’s also important to note that recommendations based on the strongest evidence withstand the test of time to a greater extent than recommendations based on lower-quality studies. This work is of interest to anyone who uses clinical guidelines for patient care, research, education, quality improvement, or creation of policies and procedures.” ###
