Longitudinal associations of time-varying homeboundness and life satisfaction after traumatic brain injury.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose/objective

To examine the association of changes in homebound status (i.e., never/rarely leaving the home) with life satisfaction in the first 10 years after traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Research method/design

We analyzed data from 2,294 individuals with moderate-to-severe TBI from the TBI Model Systems National Database using a longitudinal multilevel model with time-varying predictors to account for within-person changes over time as well as between-person differences. We measured homebound status (defined as leaving the home ≤ 2 days/week) and life satisfaction (defined as the total score on the Satisfaction With Life Scale) at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years post-TBI. We adjusted the models for demographic and injury-related covariates and used inverse probability weightin
