Interventions to Improve Cognitive Outcomes in Older Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury and Association Between Social Determinants of Health and Intervention Effectiveness: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

At least one million Canadians are at risk of experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in later life, which can lead to cognitive decline. We identified interventions studied to improve cognitive outcomes in older adults with TBI, and examined how social determinants of health (SDoH) may influence their effectiveness.

Methods

We followed JBI guidance and searched five electronic databases from inception until March 2023 for studies evaluating the clinical and cost effectiveness, and safety of interventions being studied to improve cognitive outcomes in older adults with TBI. We abstracted SDoH following the PROGRESS-Plus framework.

Results

We included 20 studies and 44,462 predominantly men/male (65%) participants with a mean age of 65.9 years; studies r
