Rotterdam CT Score — Traumatic Brain Injury Mortality Prediction

The Rotterdam CT Score is a validated prognostic tool for predicting 6-month mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) based on initial CT head findings. It improves upon the Marshall CT Classification by adding epidural mass lesion status and subarachnoid/intraventricular hemorrhage as variables. Score range: 1–6, with higher scores predicting higher 6-month mortality. The Rotterdam Score predicts mortality complementary to admission GCS.
