    Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) affects up to 280 children per 100,000, leading to significant hospitalizations and long-term disabilities.

  • 2

    The economic impact of severe TBI in the USA is estimated at $2.6 billion annually, highlighting its public health significance.

  • 3

    This study integrates clinical data with multi-omics technologies to identify novel molecular signatures of secondary brain injury in pediatric TBI.

  • 4

    Blood samples were collected from TBI patients at three time points to analyze changes in gene expression and metabolites post-injury.

  • 5

    The research aims to uncover mechanistic pathways for potential therapeutic interventions in severe pediatric TBI.
