Brief Summary   Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, necessitating accurate prognostic tools for early risk stratification. Traditional tools like the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2) often fail to capture the complex metabolic and inflammatory responses associated with TBI. Emerging biomarkers, such as the lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), offer a more nuanced evaluation of systemic inflammation, hypoperfusion, and nutritional status. This study evaluates the utility of LAR and CAR as prognostic markers for mortality in pediatric TBI, comparing their predictive accuracy with GCS and PIM2. The findings aim to establish these markers as cost-effective, accessible tools to enhance clinical decision-making and improve outcomes, especially in resource-limited settings.By analyzing 18 months of data (July 2023–January 2025) from an ongoing ICMR project at AIIMS, New Delhi, the study compares LAR and CAR with existing prognostic markers. Key outcomes include mortality at 24 hours, 30 days, and 90 days, along with ICU stay, mechanical ventilation, and inotrope support, aiming to establish these biomarkers as cost-effective tools for clinical decision-making.
