Abstract

Age is a strong factor influencing both mortality and morbidity. Despite some contradictions, most literature supports children faring better than adults who have severe brain injury. The significant influence of age upon outcome is not explained by the increased frequency of systemic complications or intracerebral hematomas with age. Increasing age is a strong independent factor in prognosis, with a significant increase in poor outcome above 60 years of age.
