Using a prospective cohort of children admitted to the PICU, the investigators will determine HRV monitoring is feasible, if a decreased HRV in the 7 days following moderate or severe TBI in children is associated with a worse outcome 6 months post-TBI and investigate HRV as a tool that can predict adverse events (neurological crisis) within 2 days following TBI.
This is a single center prospective cohort study of 15 children <18 years, admitted to the PICU at the CHU Sainte-Justine (CHUSJ) with moderate or severe TBI (<24 hours). Neurodevelopment outcome of children will be evaluated 6 months post TBI.

The primary outcome of neurological and functional outcome will be assessed by the Pediatric Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (P-GOSE) 6 months post TBI. P-GOSE is an 8-point ordinal scale (1= best outcome) The score will be classified as favourable (P-GOSE 1 or 2, or decreased of P-GOSE of 1 point post PICU (∆ P-GOSE ≤1) or unfavourable (P-GOSE ≥3 or ∆ P-GOSE ≥2)
