CODE:
[It is not possible to display information in columns in the live syllabus, which is important for displaying the codes for V135. A more neatly formated display of the codes than below is available at:

C. INTRAPARENCHYMAL FRAGMENTS:
1 No fragment(s)
2 Yes fragment(s)
8 No CT done
9 Unknown if fragments
0 Variable did not exist when data collected for this case
NOTE:
Do not use MRI findings to code this variable.
A properly trained person at the facility who has been certfied by TBIMS procedures may code this variable (see syllabus section 27a).
EXAMPLE:
Patient had a CT scan demonstrating no intracranial compression. There was a right subarachnoid hemorrhage and bone fragments present in the right temporal area.
