Neuroanatomical Substrates and Symptoms Associated With Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Patients With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Persistent symptoms after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) represent a major public health problem.

Objective

To identify neuroanatomical substrates of mTBI and the optimal timing for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Design, setting, and participants

This prospective multicenter cohort study encompassed all eligible patients from the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study (December 19, 2014, to December 17, 2017) and a local cohort (November 20, 2012, to December 19, 2013). Patients presented to the hospital within 24 hours of an mTBI (Glasgow Coma Score, 13-15), satisfied local criteria for computed tomographic scanning, and underwent MRI scanning less than 72 hours (MR1) and 2 to 3 weeks (
