“…Due to the necessary precautions being taken while driving motor vehicles and administering severe punishments for citizens failing to obey related laws, falling became the dominant cause of TBI in the United States (15). However, due to more lenient penalties and non-use of seat belts and helmets, road accidents are still the leading cause of TBI in Turkey (1). In our study, vehicular accidents were found to be the most frequent cause of TBIs, at 83.2%.…”

“…Previous studies indicated that age, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, computed tomography (CT) findings and pupil reactivity were found to be effective for determining the prognosis of patients but gender and mechanism of injury were not (3,(10)(11)(12). These factors have been studied extensively in developed countries, but studies have been limited in developing and underdeveloped countries thus far (1,14).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
