Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has traditionally been classified as mild, moderate, or severe using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) alone.
This unimodal approach is limited: it overlooks the complexity and continuum of TBI, ignores other diagnostic data, and can lead to stigma, misclassification, and suboptimal care.
Patients and clinicians have expressed concerns that the current system fails to capture the true impact and diversity of TBI presentations.
