ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify risk factors for suicidal ideation (SI) following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

Setting

Participants

A total of 1158 emergency department patients with mTBI (Glasgow Coma Scale score = 13-15) enrolled in the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in Traumatic Brain Injury (TRACK-TBI) study.

Design

Prospective observational study; weights-adjusted multivariable logistic regression models (n's = 727-883) estimated associations of baseline factors and post-TBI symptoms with SI at 2 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury.

Main measures

Results

Preinjury psychiatric history predicted SI at all follow-ups
