  1. AIS Abbreviated Injury Scale, GCS Glasgow Coma Scale, i.v. intravenous, TBI traumatic brain injury
  2. The reference category is included in brackets behind the variable name and does not receive a coefficient in the model. ORs have to be interpreted in relation to this standard category
  3. *The constant in a logistic model provides a basic risk that applies to the case that all other coefficients are zero
