Predictors of Morbidity and Mortality After Fall-related Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSION: The presence of an abnormal head CT increased the R2 value in all 3 of the outcomes of in-hospital death, hospital admission, and ICU admission. This suggests that a head CT of the patient plays an important role in predicting various health outcomes, emphasizing the importance of early interventions.
The Inter-Tester and Test-Retest Reliability of the Off-Field SCAT6 Assessment Tool In An Adult Population
CONCLUSION: SCAT6 ICC results reported good-excellent reliability for 4 and 6 domains, out of 13 domains, for inter-tester and intra-tester reliability, respectively. Notably, the domains which relied on tester error scoring yielded poor reliability results. Percentage error highlighted the failure of the SCAT6 to provide consistent domain score results in this population.
The effects of color and neutral density filters on dynamic accommodation in individuals with mild traumatic brain injury
INTRODUCTION: Visual symptoms related to accommodation are frequently reported after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), yet the effect of spectral and luminance-altering filters on dynamic accommodative performance remains unclear. This study objectively measured dynamic accommodation in individuals with mTBI and healthy controls under various filter conditions to determine if visual performance could be improved.
Comparison of LIMBIC-CENC Research Findings Among Veterans With a Department of Veterans Affairs Positive Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Screen by Comprehensive TBI Evaluation Completion Status
CONCLUSIONS: This study leveraged the unique ability to combine VHA clinical and comprehensive research data to examine outcomes not routinely collected as part of standard VHA clinical care. These research data can inform VHA TBI leadership about long-term health and functional status of veterans who screen positive for TBI.
Associations Between Physician-Recommended Early Physical Activity and Concussion Recovery Outcomes in Pediatric Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Youth who received recommendations for light aerobic or noncontact activities had a reduced likelihood of prolonged recovery compared with those recommended no PA, suggesting early PA may play a role in hastening concussion recovery in youth. Further research is needed to explore patient adherence to these prescriptions.
