Zusammenfassung:	Abbreviations: CRASH, Corticosteroid Randomisation After Significant Head Injury; GCS, Glasgow coma scale; GOS, Glasgow outcome scale; IMPACT, International Mission on Prognosis and Analysis of Clinical Trials in TBI; TBI, traumatic brain injury Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability throughout the world. Logistic regression analysis was previously compared with decision tree analysis for predicting recovery from traumatic brain injury, using a small dataset from 124 adult head-injured patients in an intensive care unit [11].
