About This TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) Study in Pittsburgh

The objective of this study is to identify determinants for implementing the i-STAT Alinity whole blood traumatic brain injury (TBI) test for its Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-indicated use and to evaluate other potential outcomes with clinical implications. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Determine the number of patients with non-elevated (i.e., below clinical cutoff) whole blood iSTAT Alinity tests who also receive CT scans. 2. What are the obstacles for using the i-STAT Alinity for its FDA-indicated use
