Abstrakt:	A recent report from University Medicine Rostock in Germany highlights the significance of temporal muscle thickness (TMT) as a prognostic imaging parameter for assessing a patient's baseline frailty in traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases. The study analyzed the radiological and clinical data of 193 TBI patients and found that high TMT was associated with an increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage but improved clinical outcomes at 6 months. Conversely, lower TMT was linked to falls and reduced outcomes. These findings suggest that TMT could serve as an objective marker of frailty in TBI patients and potentially be used as a prognostic indicator. [Extracted from the article]
