Summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the randomness of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol secretion using approximate entropy in patients who have sustained a head injury.

II. Determine the correlation between randomness of ACTH and cortisol secretion and stages of sleep in these patients.
