Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is limited evidence regarding the rate of long-term cognitive decline after traumatic brain injury (TBI) among older adults. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, time-varying TBI was defined by self-report and International Classification of Disease diagnostic codes. Cognitive testing was performed at five visits over 30 years and scores were combined into a global cognition factor score. Adjusted linear mixed-effects models estimated the association of TBI with cognitive change. RESULTS A total of 11,701 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study participants (mean baseline age 58 years, 58% female, 25% Black) without TBI at baseline were included. Over follow-up, 18% experienced TBI. The adjusted average decline in cognition per decade (standard deviation units) was more than twice as fast among individuals with ≥ 2 incident TBIs (𝛽 = -0.158, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.253,-0.063), but not among individuals with 1 TBI (𝛽 = -0.052, 95% CI = -0.107, 0.002), compared to without TBI (𝛽 = -0.057, 95% CI = -0.095, -0.020). DISCUSSION This study provides robust evidence that TBIs fundamentally alter the trajectories of cognitive decline. HIGHLIGHTS The adjusted average decline in cognition per decade (standard deviation units) was more than twice as fast among individuals with ≥ 2 incident traumatic brain injuries (TBIs; 𝛽 = -0.158, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.253, -0.063), but not with 1 TBI (𝛽 = -0.052, 95% CI = -0.107, 0.002), compared to without TBI (𝛽 = -0.057, 95% CI = -0.095, -0.020). Over a period of 30 years, this difference in cognitive decline is equivalent to individuals with ≥ 2 TBIs being 9.7 years older at baseline. Associations of TBI were stronger among individuals with one or two apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 alleles than among individuals with zero APOE ε4 alleles (P interaction = 0.007).

Asking questions that are "close to the bone": integrating thematic analysis and natural language processing to explore the experiences of people with traumatic brain injuries engaging with patient-reported outcome measures. Front Digit Health 2024; 6:1387139. [PMID: 38983792 PMCID: PMC11231399 DOI: 10.3389/fdgth.2024.1387139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) are valuable tools for assessing health-related quality of life and treatment effectiveness in individuals with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Understanding the experiences of individuals with TBIs in completing PROMs is crucial for improving their utility and relevance in clinical practice. Methods Sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sample of individuals with TBIs. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using Thematic Analysis (TA) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to identify themes and emotional connotations related to the experiences of completing PROMs. Results The TA of the data revealed six key themes regarding the experiences of individuals with TBIs in completing PROMs. Participants expressed varying levels of understanding and engagement with PROMs, with factors such as cognitive impairments and communication difficulties influencing their experiences. Additionally, insightful suggestions emerged on the barriers to the completion of PROMs, the factors facilitating it, and the suggestions for improving their contents and delivery methods. The sentiment analyses performed using NLP techniques allowed for the retrieval of the general sentimental and emotional "tones" in the participants' narratives of their experiences with PROMs, which were mainly characterised by low positive sentiment connotations. Although mostly neutral, participants' narratives also revealed the presence of emotions such as fear and, to a lesser extent, anger. The combination of a semantic and sentiment analysis of the experiences of people with TBIs rendered valuable information on the views and emotional responses to different aspects of the PROMs. Discussion The findings highlighted the complexities involved in administering PROMs to individuals with TBIs and underscored the need for tailored approaches to accommodate their unique challenges. Integrating TA-based and NLP techniques can offer valuable insights into the experiences of individuals with TBIs and enhance the interpretation of qualitative data in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate the role of cognitive reserve (CR) on cognitive and physical sequelae in traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS A comprehensive search strategy was conducted in four databases in English and Spanish in the last 12 years (2011-2023). Inclusion criteria: original cross-sectional and longitudinal studies whose main or secondary objective was to evaluate the effect of CR in adult patients with TBI. PRISMA guidelines were used to report the search and selection method and STROBE checklist was used to evaluate the quality of studies. RESULTS Eighteen observational studies were included in this review. Multiple sources of variability were observed: number of patients, time of evolution, severity of the TBI, type of CR proxy, cognitive assessment instrument, etc. However, the most commonly used indicators of CR were premorbid IQ and educational attainment. A positive and consistent association between CR and performance on cognitive tests after injury was found. CONCLUSIONS CR has a consistent positive effect on cognition and on some other aspects of recovery in traumatic brain injury. In future studies, it will be necessary to promote the use of CR indices based on various indicators and explore the effects of CR on other aspects related to the recovery of brain trauma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a functional decline in cognitive activities decades after moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (m-sTBI) might relate to injury features and/or lifetime health factors, some of which may emerge as consequences of the injury. DESIGN Secondary analysis of the TBI Model Systems National Database, a prospective, multi-center, longitudinal study of patients with m-sTBI. SETTING TBI Model Systems Centers. PARTICIPANTS Included were 732 participants rated on the cognitive subscale of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM Cognitive), a metric for everyday cognitive skills, across 3 time points out to 20 years (visits at 2-, 10-, and 20-year follow-ups; N=732). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) FIM Cognitive Scale. Injury characteristics such as timing and features pertaining to severity and health-related factors (eg, alcohol use, socioeconomic status) were examined to discriminate stable from declining participants on the FIM Cognitive Scale using logistic regression. RESULTS At 20 years post-injury, there was a low base rate of FIM Cognitive decline (11%, n=78), with most being stable or having meaningful improvement (89%, n=654). Older age at injury, longer duration of post-traumatic amnesia, and presence of repetitive seizures were significant predictors of FIM Cognitive decline in the final model (area under the curve=0.75), while multiple health-related factors that can represent independent co-morbidities or possible consequences of injury were not. CONCLUSION(S) The strongest contributors to reported functional decline in cognitive activities later-in-life were related to acute characteristics of m-sTBI and experiencing post-traumatic seizures. Future studies are needed integrating functional with performance-based cognitive assessments to affirm conclusions and identify the timeline and trajectory of cognitive decline.

Long-term Multidomain Patterns of Change After Traumatic Brain Injury: A TRACK-TBI LONG Study. Neurology 2023; 101:e740-e753. [PMID: 37344231 PMCID: PMC10437015 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000207501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be a chronic condition carrying risk of future sequelae; few prospective studies examine long-term postinjury outcomes. We examined the prevalence of functional, cognitive, and psychiatric change outcomes from 1 to 7 years postinjury. METHODS Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in TBI LONG (TRACK-TBI LONG) participants were prospectively enrolled within 24 hours of injury and followed up to 1 year postinjury; a subset participated in long-term follow-up from 2 to 7 years postinjury. Reliable change thresholds for the Brief Test of Adult Cognition by Telephone General Composite (cognition) and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI)-18 (psychiatric) were derived from orthopedic trauma controls (OTCs). Multiple assessments were completed (postinjury baseline assessment and 2 or 3 visits 2-7 years postinjury) within a sample subset. Change was assessed for functional outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended [GOSE]) and self-report/informant report of decline. Prevalence ratios for outcomes classified as stable, improved, and declined were reported individually and collectively. The Fisher exact test and log-binomial regression models examined factors associated with decline and improvement. RESULTS Of the sample (N = 1,264; mild TBI [mTBI], Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] 13-15, n = 917; moderate-to-severe TBI [msTBI], GCS 3-12, n = 193; or OTC n = 154), "stable" was the most prevalent outcome. Functional outcome showed the highest rates of decline, regardless of TBI severity (mild = 29%; moderate/severe = 23%). When measures were collectively considered, rates of decline included mTBI (21%), msTBI (26%), and OTC (15%). Age and preinjury employment status were associated with functional decline (per 10 years; relative risk [RR] 1.16, 95% CI 1.07-1.25, p < 0.001; higher in retired/disabled/not working vs full-time/part-time; RR 1.81, 95% CI 1.33-2.45, respectively) in the mTBI group. Improvement in functional recovery 2-7 years postinjury was associated with higher BSI scores (per 5 points; RR 1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.18, p = 0.002) and GOSE score of 5-7 (GOSE = 8 as reference; RR 2.64, 95% CI 1.75-3.97, p < 0.001). Higher BSI scores and identifying as Black (RR 2.28, 95% CI 1.59-3.25, p < 0.001) were associated with a greater likelihood of improved psychiatric symptoms in mTBI (RR 1.21, 95% CI 1.14-1.29, p < 0.001). A greater likelihood of cognitive improvement was observed among those with higher educational attainment in msTBI (per 4 years; RR 2.61, 95% CI 1.43-4.79, p = 0.002). DISCUSSION Function across domains at 1-year postinjury, a common recovery benchmark, undergoes change across the subsequent 6 years. Results support consideration of TBI as a chronic evolving condition and suggest continued monitoring, rehabilitation, and support is required to optimize long-term independence and quality of life.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global health priority, associated with substantial burden. Historically conceptualised as an injury event with finite recovery, TBI is now recognised as a chronic condition that can affect multiple domains of health and function, some of which might deteriorate over time. Many people who have had a TBI remain moderately to severely disabled at 5 years, are rehospitalised up to 10 years post-injury, and have a reduced lifespan relative to the general population. Understanding TBI as a chronic disease process can be highly informative for optimising care, which has traditionally focused on acute care. Chronic brain injury care models must be informed by a holistic understanding of long-term outcomes and the factors that can affect how care needs evolve over time. The United States Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems of Care follows up individuals with moderate-to-severe TBI for over 30 years, allowing characterisation of the chronic (2-30 years or more post injury) functional, cognitive, behavioural, and social sequelae experienced by individuals who have had a moderate-to-severe TBI and the implications for their health and quality of life. Older age, social determinants of health, and lower acute functional status are associated with post-recovery deterioration, while younger age and greater functional independence are associated with risky health behaviours, including substance misuse and re-injury. Systematically collected data on long-term outcomes across multiple domains of health and function are needed worldwide to inform the development of models for chronic disease management, including the proactive surveillance of commonly experienced health and functional challenges.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the factor structure of the Rehabilitation Needs Survey (RNS). DESIGN Secondary analysis of observational cohort study who were 5-years post-traumatic brain injury (TBI). SETTING Five Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities. PARTICIPANTS Veterans enrolled in the TBI Model Systems longitudinal study who completed the RNS at 5-year follow-up (N=378). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) RNS. RESULTS RNS factor structure was examined with exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with oblique rotation. Analyses returned 2- and 3-factor solutions with Cronbach alphas ranging from 0.715 to 0.905 and corrected item-total correlations that ranged from 0.279 to 0.732. The 2-factor solution accounted for 61.7% of the variance with ≥3 exclusively loading items on each factor with acceptable internal consistency metrics and was selected as the most parsimonious and clinically applicable model. Ad hoc analysis found the RNS structure per the EFA corresponded with elements of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) conceptual framework. All factors had adequate internal consistency (α≥0.70) and 20 of the 21 demonstrated good discrimination (corrected item-total correlations≥0.40). CONCLUSIONS The 2-factor solution of the RNS appears to be a useful model for enhancing its clinical interpretability. Although there were cross-loading items, they refer to complex rehabilitation needs that are likely influenced by multiple factors. Alternatively, there are items that may require alteration and redundant items that should be considered for elimination.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Motivations for outcome data collection in TBI are threefold: to improve patient outcomes, to facilitate research, and to provide the means and methods for wider injury surveillance. Such data play a pivotal role in population health, and ways to increase the reliability of data collection following TBI should be pursued. As a result, technology-aided follow-up of patients with neurotrauma is on the rise; there is, therefore, a need to describe how such technologies have been used. A scoping review was conducted and reported using the PRISMA extension (PRISMA-ScR). Five electronic databases (Embase, MEDLINE, Global Health, PsycInfo, and Scopus) were searched systematically using keywords derived from the concepts of "telemedicine," "TBI," "outcome assessment," and "patient-generated health data." Forty studies described follow-up technologies (FUTs) utilizing telephones (52.5%, n = 21), short message service (SMS; 10%, n = 4), smartphones (22.5%, n = 9), videoconferencing (10%, n = 4), digital assistants (2.5%, n = 1), and custom devices (2.5%, n = 1) among cohorts of patients with TBI of varying injury severity. Where reported, clinical facilitators, remote follow-up timing and intervals between sessions, synchronicity of follow-up instances, proxy involvement, outcome measures utilized, and technology evaluation efforts are described. FUTs can aid more temporally sensitive assessments and capture fluctuating sequelae, a benefit of particular relevance to TBI cohorts. However, the evidence base surrounding FUTs remains in its infancy, particularly with respect to large samples, low- and middle-income patient cohorts, and the validation of outcome measures for deployment via such remote technology.

Abstract
This proceedings article presents actionable research targets on the basis of the presentations and discussions at the 2nd Curing Coma National Institutes of Health (NIH) symposium held from May 3 to May 5, 2021. Here, we summarize the background, research priorities, panel discussions, and deliverables discussed during the symposium across six major domains related to disorders of consciousness. The six domains include (1) Biology of Coma, (2) Coma Database, (3) Neuroprognostication, (4) Care of Comatose Patients, (5) Early Clinical Trials, and (6) Long-term Recovery. Following the 1st Curing Coma NIH virtual symposium held on September 9 to September 10, 2020, six workgroups, each consisting of field experts in respective domains, were formed and tasked with identifying gaps and developing key priorities and deliverables to advance the mission of the Curing Coma Campaign. The highly interactive and inspiring presentations and panel discussions during the 3-day virtual NIH symposium identified several action items for the Curing Coma Campaign mission, which we summarize in this article.

Goal Attainment in an Individually Tailored and Home-Based Intervention in the Chronic Phase after Traumatic Brain Injury. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11040958. [PMID: 35207231 PMCID: PMC8875324 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11040958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a heterogeneous condition with long-term consequences for individuals and families. Goal-oriented rehabilitation is often applied, but there is scarce knowledge regarding types of goals and goal attainment. This study describes goal attainment in persons in the chronic phase of TBI who have received an individualized, SMART goal-oriented and home-based intervention, compares goal attainment in different functional domains, and examines indicators of goal attainment. Goal attainment scaling (GAS) was recorded in the intervention group (n = 59) at the final session. The goal attainment was high, with 93.3% increased goal attainment across all goals at the final session. The level of goal attainment was comparable across domains (cognitive, physical/somatic, emotional, social). Gender, anxiety symptoms, self-reported executive dysfunction, and therapy expectations were indicators of goal attainment. These results indicate a potential for the high level of goal attainment in the chronic phase of TBI. Tailoring of rehabilitation to address individual needs for home-dwelling persons with TBI in the chronic phase represents an important area of future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Practice guidelines (CPGs) provide informed treatment recommendations from systematic reviews and assessment of the benefits and harms that are intended to optimize patient care. Review of CPGs addressing rehabilitation for people with moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), has not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVE: Identify published, vetted, clinical practice guidelines that address rehabilitation for people with moderate/severe TBI. METHODS: Six data bases were accessed using key word search terms: “Traumatic Brain Injury” and “Clinical Practice Guidelines” and “Rehabilitation”. Further inclusions included “adult” and “moderate or severe”. Exclusions included: “mild” and “concussive injury”. Three reviewers read abstracts and manuscripts for final inclusion. The AGREE II template was applied for additional appraisal. RESULTS: There were 767 articles retrieved using the search terms, 520 were eliminated because of content irrelevance; and 157 did not specify rehabilitation treatment or did not follow a process for CPGs. A total of 17 CPGs met all criteria and only 4 of these met all AGREE II criteria. CONCLUSION: There are few CPGs addressing rehabilitation for people with moderate/severe TBI. More interventional trials are needed to determine treatment effectiveness. Timely and methodologically sound vetting of studies are needed to ensure CPG reliability and facilitate access to quality, effective treatment for people with moderate/severe TBI.

Patterns of Functional Change Five to Ten Years after Moderate-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. J Neurotrauma 2021; 38:1526-1534.

Abstract
This study aims to characterize the patterns of functional change experienced between 5 and 10 years after moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study included TBI Model Systems national database participants (N = 372) at six sites who experienced TBI, received inpatient rehabilitation, and were followed at 5 and 10 years post-TBI. Outcome measures included self- or proxy-reported Functional Independence Measure (FIMTM) structured interview at 5 and 10 years post-TBI and domain change indices (DCIs) at 10 years to assess subjective change over the previous 5 years. When all seven FIM and subjective DCI subscales were considered together, 69% reported improvement in at least one subscale and 41% reported decline in at least one subscale; 51% reported more domains improved than declined, and 20% reported more domains declined than improved. Age at injury, post-traumatic amnesia duration, FIM, and depression and anxiety at year 5 were associated with FIM change and DCI measures. Although most persons with moderate-severe TBI do not experience widespread change from year 5 to 10 on individual FIM subscales or perceived domain-specific subscales, the vast majority do report change in one or more domains, with more improvement than decline and more change in subjective DCI than in FIM. Clinicians and researchers should be alert to the possibility of both positive and deleterious changes many years after TBI.
