Recovery from Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in the Nonathletic Population: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to document the resolution rate of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) symptoms at various time points in a nonathletic adult population and identify prognostic factors influencing recovery. Sixteen prospective cohort studies were included, focusing on participants aged 18-65 with acute mTBI, followed for a minimum of 1 month. The recovery criterion was the resolution of symptoms not attributable to pre-existing conditions. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality in Prognostic Studies tool, with most studies rated as moderate risk, highlighting variability in methodological rigor. Symptom resolution was reported in 49.0% to 69.5% of patients at 1 month, 40.8% to 84.4% at 3 months, 38.3% to 72.2% at 6 months, and 58.1 to 68.3% at 12 months. These findings
