Systematic Review of the Long-Term Neuroimaging Correlates of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Repetitive Head Injuries.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To systematically review the literature on the long-term neuroimaging findings (≥10 years from exposure) for exposure in adulthood to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and repetitive head impacts (RHIs) using neuroimaging across all available populations. Data sources: Four electronic databases: MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, and EMBASE. Study selection: All articles were original research and published in English. Studies examined adults with remote exposure to mTBI and/or RHIs from ten or more years ago in addition to any associated neuroimaging findings. Data extraction: Parameters mainly included participants' population, age, years since head injury, race, sex, education level, and any neuroimaging findings. Scores for the level of evidence and
