Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries With Minor Intracranial Hemorrhage: Can They Be Safely Managed In The Community? - A Cohort Study.

•Combination of physiologic function (GCS 13–15) and anatomic information (minor head CT findings) identifies patients with mild TBIs, who can be safely managed by acute care surgeons at Community Hospitals.•Minor CT findings were defined as: 1) an epidural hematoma less than 2 mm thick, 2) subarachnoid hemorrhage measuring less than 2 mm, 3) subdural hematoma less than 4 mm thick, 4) intraparenchymal hemorrhage measuring less than 5 mm, 5) minor pneumocephalus defined as 2–3 small bubbles of air, or 6) linear or minimally depressed skull fracture.•Repeat head CT in patients with stable neurologic examination does not change management.
