Factors Associated With Persistent Symptoms Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common presentation in which it is clinically difficult at presentation to identify patients at risk for persistent symptoms, defined as lasting longer than 30 days. Few studies report the time period from injury to presentation; thus, it may be useful to determine early findings that identify patients who are likely to have persistent 30-day symptoms.

Objective

To identify parameters associated with persistent 30-day symptoms in adult emergency department (ED) patients presenting shortly after a mild TBI (mTBI).

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort analysis used the large and still enrolling HeadSMART II (Head Injury Serum Markers and Multi-modalities for Assessing Response to Trauma II) dataset. HeadSMART II bega
