TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Head injury at the southeastern Georgia Regional Trauma Center: a three-year review JO - Journal of the Medical Association of Georgia A1 - Boyd, C. R. A1 - Usher, C. H. A1 - Wirth, F. P. A1 - Downing, E. F. A1 - Baker, R. P. A1 - Cannon, C. L. A1 - Corse, K. M. SP - 341 EP - 344 VL - 78 IS - 6 N2 - The impact of head injury on our trauma center is significant because of the large number of cases with their heavy utilization of trauma center resources. Head injury also exerts a major influence on the Trauma Center in a rural area since it serves as a major provider of care for the head injured over a wide geographical area. Mortality rates seen in this population compare favorably with contemporary data from other studies using GCS and Head AIS as indicators of level of injury.
