Predicting Outcome for Early Attention Training After Acquired Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The training of impaired attention after acquired brain injury is central for successful reintegration in daily living, social, and working life. Using statistical process control, we found different improvement trajectories following attention training in a group of relatively homogeneous patients early after acquired brain injury (ABI).

Objective

To examine the contribution of pre-injury factors and clinical characteristics to differences in outcome after early attention training.

Materials and methods

Data collected in a clinical trial comparing systematic attention training (APT) with activity-based attention training (ABAT) early after brain injury were reanalyzed.

Results

Stroke patients (p = 0.004) with unifocal (p = 0.002) and r
