New evidence shows brain trauma healing rates in children may not be predictable.<\/p>\n
There is good news and bad news on the horizon for child victims of brain trauma. The bad news is recent studies suggest it is difficult to predict with any degree of accuracy how well the children will do in the long term, despite a higher survival rate.<\/p>\n
Over the years, medical technology has improved so that children who sustain brain trauma now have a higher survival rate. The difficulty is no one is able to predict how they will fare in later years. Brain injuries in kids are very complex to monitor, as their brains are still in the process of growing and forming. Protecting them from further accidents and infections is a major priority.<\/p>\n
