Determine if the Helsinki scale has greater or equal effectiveness than the Rotterdam scale in predicting mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury at the Teaching Regional Hospital of Trujillo between the period of January 2012 to December 2019. Material and methods: A retrospective analytical cross-sectional study of the diagnostic test type was carried out at the Teaching Regional Hospital of Trujillo, using a census sample of patients diagnosed with traumatic brain injury in the period from January 2012 to December 2019, who met the criteria inclusion criteria and obtaining a total of 242 patients. The values of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy of each scale were calculated and compared to assess which one is more effective in predicting mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury. Results: The Rotterdam scale obtained a sensitivity of 74.4%, a specificity of 74.4%, a PPV of 35.8% and a NPV of 93.8%. The Helsinki scale obtained a sensitivity of 69.2%, a specificity of 86.2%, a PPV of 49.1% and a NPV of 83.5%. In the comparison, it is evident that between the sensitivity of the Rotterdam scale and that of the Helsinki scale there is no significant difference (p=0.615) to predict mortality according to the cut-off points of each scale, while in the specificity a significant difference was found (p=0.003). Conclusion: The Helsinki scale is more effective in predicting mortality than the Rotterdam scale in patients with traumatic brain injury treated at the Teaching Regional Hospital of Trujillo between the period of January 2012 to December 2019.
