The CBI-M Framework, which integrates Clinical, Biomarker, Imaging, and Modifier pillars, was evaluated for its performance in characterizing patients with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) using data from the CENTER-TBI and TRACK-TBI prospective cohort studies. The study found that the full CBI-M model achieved excellent discrimination in predicting key clinical endpoints, including diagnosis, care pathways, and outcomes at 6 months post-injury.

The Biomarker and Imaging pillars were most influential in predicting CT-defined abnormalities and major cranial surgery, respectively, while the full CBI-M model showed stronger associations with 6-month mortality and unfavorable outcomes compared to established prediction models IMPACT-Lab and CRASH-CT.
