What is the study about? This study examined: (1) resilience in a group of patients who were post-acute TBI and (2) the relationship between resilience and psychological health. Resilience has been found to correlate with psychological wellness and adaptive coping to a variety of physically and psychologically traumatic situations, including chronic ...

What is the study about? This study looked at the type of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) that are more likely to complete and not complete long-term research study follow-ups. Long-term research studies are important because they help us understand the recovery process for people with TBI. What did the study ...

What is the study about? Because penetrating traumatic brain injury (PTBI) is uncommon, the scientific literature has lacked quality empirical data on long-term outcomes. Using a large database, this study compared global outcome on the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and prevalence of seizure hospitalizations between patients with moderate-severe PTBI and those ...

What is the study about? This study developed statistical models for predicting long-term survival in adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI). This was the first study that tested the external validity (the degree to which the conclusions are generalizable, or would hold for other persons in other places and at other ...

What is the study about? This study compared several characteristics between people with and without TBI, including life expectancy and certain causes of death. The study also looked at risk factors of death. The study focused on people with TBI who completed inpatient rehabilitation. What did the study find? Those that were older ...

What is the study about? This study used pre-existing data to make U.S. population estimates of health and social outcomes for adults 5 years after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that required acute inpatient rehabilitation. What did the study find? Approximately 1 in 5 (20.6%) TBI patients died within 5 years of injury. ...

What is the study about? This study used the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems National Database (TBIMS NDB) to examine employment outcomes. The focus was to look at the risk factors for unemployment and part-time employment 2 years after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). What did the study find? Of the initial study ...

What is the study about? This study used the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems National Database (TBIMS NDB) to examine US population estimates for variables observed before the injury and after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation (rehab) for TBI. What did the study find? Based on US population estimates, TBI occurred most frequently (23.1%) ...

What is the study about? This study analyzed data from the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems National Database (TBIMS-NDB). Researchers wanted to know if the data reflects the US population of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) receiving inpatient rehabilitation. What did the study find? The results show that the TBIMS-NDB largely represents ...

What is the study about? Researchers were interested in assessing how physicians around the country approach the evaluation and treatment of headaches that occur after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The complexity of TBI often results in patients receiving treatment from multiple providers and in multiple clinical settings. It is important to ...

What is the study about? This study looked at the differences between older stroke patients treated with the Siebens Domain Management Model (SDMM) and older patients not treated with the SDMM. The SDMM provides a patient management plan to provide a standard structure for all weekly multi-disciplinary conferences to assess patient ...

What is the study about? This study measures which factors are associated with life satisfaction over time for people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). What did the study find? The authors found losses of life roles, particularly as worker, hobbyist, and friend, are the biggest predictors of life dissatisfaction for persons with TBI. ...

What is the study about? This study examined characteristics of patients with post-traumatic brain injury fatigue (PTBIF) in order to assess characteristics of those whose fatigue persisted as compared to those whose fatigue resolved. The characteristics reported included: level of disability, sleep quality, mood, and community participation, as well as level ...

What is the study about? This study reported on whether a specific, genetically variable neurotransmission pathway in the brain could provide information about prognosis for recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI). In particular, the researchers developed hypotheses about gene variants within this pathway and their potential relationship to problems thinking after ...

What is the study about? This study tested if severity of head and extracranial injuries (ECI) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is related to suicidal ideation (SI) or suicide attempt (SA). The study also looked at what people with TBI with reported SI or SA have in common. What did the study ...

What is the study about? This study tested a mobile app as a way to measure depression and anxiety for people with TBI. This could allow new ways to measure mood with smartphones for people with TBI. The app was designed to repeatedly ask questions about emotional and physical health to ...

What is the study about? Difficulty sleeping and problems with attention, memory, and understanding and processing new information, called cognitive function, are common occurrences after suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI). A patient suffering from these types of problems may experience significant loss of their ability to function. This study examined ...

What is the study about? Understanding how to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI) is difficult because there are so many possible outcomes. Even when patients have a similar injury, they may experience wide differences in behavior, cognition, and emotion. One way to predict individual TBI outcomes is to examine genes that ...
