  • BACKGROUND: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is damage to the brain caused by an external force traumatically injures. To observe its severity the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Computed Tomography (CT) scan are used. Also, D-dimer as an end product of fibrinolytic activity is proposed as an predictor of TBI outcome. Increases D-dimer value were correlated with severity. CT-scan is to expensive dan need patients mobility that can cause worse. Aim study is to correlate between D-dimer and GCS in patient with traumatic brain injury. METHODS: The cross sectional observational analytic design will be carried out in the study. The TBI patients with 24 hours onset who admit to Emergency Room Dr. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta will be included with inclusion and exclution criteria consecutively selection. Glasgow coma scale will be measured and plasma D-Dimer will be examined using Nycocard with immunofiltration method. Correlation between plasma D-Dimer and Glasgow Coma Scale will be tested using Pearson Correlation if the population distribution is normal or Spearman correlation if not normally distributed. RESULT: There was strong negative correlation between D-dimer and Glasgow Coma Scale (r=0,835
