Profiles of Cognitive Functioning at 6 Months After Traumatic Brain Injury Among Patients in Level I Trauma Centers: A TRACK-TBI Study.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Cognitive dysfunction is common after traumatic brain injury (TBI), with a well-established dose-response relationship between TBI severity and likelihood or magnitude of persistent cognitive impairment. However, patterns of cognitive dysfunction in the long-term (eg, 6-month) recovery period are less well known.

Objective

To characterize the prevalence of cognitive dysfunction within and across cognitive domains (processing speed, memory, and executive functioning) 6 months after injury in patients with TBI seen at level I trauma centers.

Design, setting, and participants

This prospective longitudinal cohort study used data from Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in TBI (TRACK-TBI) and included patients aged 17 years or older presenting at 18 US
