Observational and comparative effectiveness studies

Observational registries and studies have underscored several important research efforts and advances in recent years in traumatic brain injury and will continue to be key research strategies. The Observational and Comparative Effectiveness Studies working group will act as a focal point and source of expertise for global researchers developing and utilising large scale data assets for traumatic brain injury research. The working group seeks to encourage new research initiatives to incorporate common data elements so as to maximise opportunities, value and impact of internationally collaborative research. The resultant large scale data assets can be used for comparative effectiveness research and to generate predictive models to improve clinical care and outcomes for people with traumatic brain injury.
