Over 90% of TBIs are categorized as “mild”, but over 50% of such patients do not fully recover by 6 months after injury.
“Over 90% of TBIs are categorized as “mild”, but over 50% of such patients do not fully recover by 6 months after injury. Improving outcome in these patients would be a huge public health benefit. A multidimensional approach to outcome assessment is advocated, including a focus on mental health and post-traumatic stress disorder. Outcome after TBI is poorer in females compared with males, but reasons for this are not clear.” – Presse release, CENTER-TBI
