Functional outcome in patients with minor head injury with neurocranial traumatic findings on CT is largely unknown. We hypothesized that certain CT findings may be predictive of poor functional outcome. All patients from the CT in Head Injury Patients (CHIP) study with neurocranial traumatic CT fin...
