Abstract
The IMPACT prognosis calculator showed just fair discrimination when predicting the outcome of the elderly patients with severe TBI. Management decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis rather than by relying on the predicted risks identified by this model; conservative treatment might be preferable when expected risk of fatal outcome is >90%.
