☆ This policy was given the endorsement level of “adoption” by ACEP on October 24, 2001. By definition, the term “adoption” means that the ACEP Board agrees with the document, they believe that the methodology was scientifically valid and documented, that the composition of panel members was appropriate, that the document does not conflict with ACEP policy, and that the statement is relevant to emergency medicine.
☆☆ This project was funded by an International Brain Injury Association (IBIA) grant and the Irving I. and Felicia F. Rubin family brain injury research grant.
