True. A challenge for pediatric healthcare providers is deciding if a patient's traumatic brain injury (TBI) is mild, moderate, or severe, because this determination has an impact on the child's care and long-term prognosis. The severity of a TBI is determined based on a combination of factors such as loss of consciousness, duration of altered mental status, and imaging findings, among others. The severity level of a TBI will impact the child's treatment plan and rehabilitation, as well as their long-term outcomes.
