Item Behavioral Recovery and Early Decision Making in Patients with Prolonged Disturbance in Consciousness after Traumatic Brain Injury(Mary Ann Liebert, 2020-01-15) Giacino, Joseph T.; Sherer, Mark; Christoforou, Andrea; Maurer-Karattup, Petra; Hammond, Flora M.; Long, David; Bagiella, Emilia; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of MedicineThe extent of behavioral recovery that occurs in patients with traumatic disorders of consciousness (DoC) following discharge from the acute care setting has been under-studied and increases the risk of overly pessimistic outcome prediction. The aim of this observational cohort study was to systematically track behavioral and functional recovery in patients with prolonged traumatic DoC following discharge from the acute care setting. Standardized behavioral data were acquired from 95 patients in a minimally conscious (MCS) or vegetative state (VS) recruited from 11 clinic sites and randomly assigned to the placebo arm of a previously completed prospective clinical trial. Patients were followed for 6 weeks by blinded observers to determine frequency of recovery of six target behaviors associated with functional status. The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised and Disability Rating Scale were used to track reemergence of target behaviors and assess degree of functional disability, respectively. Twenty percent (95% confidence interval [CI]: 13-30%) of participants (mean age 37.2; median 47 days post-injury; 69 men) recovered all six target behaviors within the 6 week observation period. The odds of recovering a specific target behavior were 3.2 (95% CI: 1.2-8.1) to 7.8 (95% CI: 2.7-23.0) times higher for patients in MCS than for those in VS. Patients with preserved language function ("MCS+") recovered the most behaviors (p ≤ 0.002) and had the least disability (p ≤ 0.002) at follow-up. These findings suggest that recovery of high-level behaviors underpinning functional independence is common in patients with prolonged traumatic DoC. Clinicians involved in early prognostic counseling should recognize that failure to emerge from traumatic DoC before 28 days does not necessarily portend unfavorable outcome.Item Brain Injury Functional Outcome Measure (BI-FOM): A Single Instrument Capturing the Range of Recovery in Moderate-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury(Elsevier, 2021-01) Whyte, John; Giacino, Joseph T.; Heinemann, Allen W.; Bodien, Yelena; Hart, Tessa; Sherer, Mark; Whiteneck, Gale G.; Mellick, David; Hammond, Flora M.; Semik, Patrick; Rosenbaum, Amy; Nakase Richardson, Risa; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of MedicineObjective To develop a measure of global functioning after moderate-severe TBI with similar measurement precision but a longer measurement range than the FIM. Design Phase 1: retrospective analysis of 5 data sets containing FIM, Disability Rating Scale, and other assessment items to identify candidate items for extending the measurement range of the FIM; Phase 2: prospective administration of 49 candidate items from phase 1, with Rasch analysis to identify a unidimensional scale with an extended range. Setting Six TBI Model System rehabilitation hospitals. Participants Individuals (N=184) with moderate-severe injury recruited during inpatient rehabilitation or at 1-year telephone follow-up. Interventions Participants were administered the 49 assessment items in person or via telephone. Main Outcome Measures Item response theory parameters: item monotonicity, infit/outfit statistics, and Factor 1 variance. Results After collapsing misordered rating categories and removing misfitting items, we derived the Brain Injury Functional Outcome Measure (BI-FOM), a 31-item assessment instrument with high reliability, greatly extended measurement range, and improved unidimensionality compared with the FIM. Conclusions The BI-FOM improves global measurement of function after moderate-severe brain injury. Its high precision, relative lack of floor and ceiling effects, and feasibility for telephone follow-up, if replicated in an independent sample, are substantial advantages.Item Comparison of Common Outcome Measures for Assessing Independence in Patients Diagnosed with Disorders of Consciousness: A Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems Study(Mary Ann Liebert, 2022) Snider, Samuel B.; Kowalski, Robert G.; Hammond, Flora M.; Izzy, Saef; Shih, Shirley L.; Rovito, Craig; Edlow, Brian L.; Zafonte, Ross D.; Giacino, Joseph T.; Bodien, Yelena G.; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of MedicinePatients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) recover to varying degrees of functional dependency. Dependency is difficult to measure but critical for interpreting clinical trial outcomes and prognostic counseling. In participants with DoC (i.e., not following commands) enrolled in the TBI Model Systems National Database (TBIMS NDB), we used the Functional Independence Measure (FIM®) as the reference to evaluate how accurately the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) assess dependency. Using the established FIM-dependency cut-point of <80, we measured the classification performance of literature-derived GOSE and DRS cut-points at 1-year post-injury. We compared the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) between the DRSDepend, a DRS-derived marker of dependency, and the data-derived optimal GOSE and DRS cut-points. Of 18,486 TBIMS participants, 1483 met inclusion criteria (mean [standard deviation (SD)] age = 38 [18] years; 76% male). The sensitivity of GOSE cut-points of ≤3 and ≤4 (Lower Severe and Upper Severe Disability, respectively) for identifying FIM-dependency were 97% and 98%, but specificities were 73% and 51%, respectively. The sensitivity of the DRS cut-point of ≥12 (Severe Disability) for identifying FIM-dependency was 60%, but specificity was 100%. The DRSDepend had a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 94% for classifying FIM-dependency, with a greater AUROC than the data-derived optimal GOSE (≤3, p = 0.01) and DRS (≥10, p = 0.008) cut-points. Commonly used GOSE and DRS cut-points have limited specificity or sensitivity for identifying functional dependency. The DRSDepend identifies FIM-dependency more accurately than the GOSE and DRS cut-points, but requires further validation.Item Disorders of Consciousness due to Traumatic Brain Injury: Functional Status Ten Years Post-Injury(Mary Ann Liebert, 2018-09-18) Hammond, Flora M.; Giacino, Joseph T.; Nakase Richardson, Risa; Sherer, Mark; Zafonte, Ross D.; Whyte, John; Arciniegas, David B.; Tang, Xinyu; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of MedicineFew studies have assessed the long-term functional outcomes of patients with a disorder of consciousness due to traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study examined functional status during the first 10 years after TBI among a cohort with disorders of consciousness (i.e., coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state). The study sample included 110 individuals with TBI who were unable to follow commands prior to inpatient rehabilitation and for whom follow-up data were available at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years post-injury. The sample was subdivided into those who demonstrated command-following early (before 28 days post-injury) versus late (≥ 28 days post-injury or never). Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years following TBI was used to measure functional outcomes. Measureable functional recovery occurred throughout the 10-year period, with more than two thirds of the sample achieving independence in mobility and self-care, and about one quarter achieving independent cognitive function by 10 years. Following commands prior to 28 days was associated with greater functional independence at all outcome time-points. Multi-trajectory modeling of recovery of three FIM subscales (self-care, mobility, cognition) revealed four distinct prognostic groups with different temporal patterns of change on these subscales. More than half the sample achieved near-maximal recovery by 1 year post-injury, while the later command-following subgroups recovered over longer periods of time. Significant late functional decline was not observed in this cohort. Among a cohort of patients unable to follow commands at the time of inpatient rehabilitation, a substantial proportion achieved functional independence in self-care, mobility, and cognition. The proportion of participants achieving functional independence increased between 5 and 10 years post-injury. These findings suggest that individuals with disorders of consciousness may benefit from ongoing functional monitoring and updated care plans for at least the first decade after TBI.Item The Feasibility of Telephone-Administered Cognitive Testing in Individuals 1 and 2 Years after Inpatient Rehabilitation for Traumatic Brain Injury(Mary Ann Liebert, 2018-05-15) Dams-O'Connor, Kristen; Sy, Karla Therese L.; Landau, Alexandra; Bodien, Yelena; Dikmen, Sureyya; Felix, Elizabeth R.; Giacino, Joseph T.; Gibbons, Laura; Hammond, Flora M.; Hart, Tessa; Johnson-Greene, Doug; Lengenfelder, Jeannie; Lequerica, Anthony; Newman, Jody; Novack, Thomas; O'Neil-Pirozzi, Therese M.; Whiteneck, Gale; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of MedicineTraumatic brain injury (TBI) often results in cognitive impairment, and trajectories of cognitive functioning can vary tremendously over time across survivors. Traditional approaches to measuring cognitive performance require face-to-face administration of a battery of objective neuropsychological tests, which can be time- and labor-intensive. There are numerous clinical and research contexts in which in-person testing is undesirable or unfeasible, including clinical monitoring of older adults or individuals with disability for whom travel is challenging, and epidemiological studies of geographically dispersed participants. A telephone-based method for measuring cognition could conserve resources and improve efficiency. The objective of this study is to examine the feasibility and usefulness of the Brief Test of Adult Cognition by Telephone (BTACT) among individuals who are 1 and 2 years post-moderate-to-severe TBI. A total of 463 individuals participated in the study at Year 1 post-injury, and 386 participated at Year 2. The sample was mostly male (73%) and white (59%), with an average age of (mean ± standard deviation) 47.9 ± 20.9 years, and 73% experienced a duration of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) greater than 7 days. A majority of participants were able to complete the BTACT subtests (61-69% and 56-64% for Years 1 and 2 respectively); score imputation for those unable to complete a test due to severity of cognitive impairment yields complete data for 74-79% of the sample. BTACT subtests showed expected changes between Years 1-2, and summary scores demonstrated expected associations with injury severity, employment status, and cognitive status as measured by the Functional Independence Measure. Results indicate it is feasible, efficient, and useful to measure cognition over the telephone among individuals with moderate-severe TBI.Item Functional Outcomes Over the First Year After Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in the Prospective, Longitudinal TRACK-TBI Study(American Medical Association, 2021) McCrea, Michael A.; Giacino, Joseph T.; Barber, Jason; Temkin, Nancy R.; Nelson, Lindsay D.; Levin, Harvey S.; Dikmen, Sureyya; Stein, Murray; Bodien, Yelena G.; Boase, Kim; Taylor, Sabrina R.; Vassar, Mary; Mukherjee, Pratik; Robertson, Claudia; Diaz-Arrastia, Ramon; Okonkwo, David O.; Markowitz, Amy J.; Manley, Geoffrey T.; TRACK-TBI Investigators; Adeoye, Opeolu; Badjatia, Neeraj; Bullock, M. Ross; Chesnut, Randall; Corrigan, John D.; Crawford, Karen; Duhaime, Ann-Christine; Ellenbogen, Richard; Feeser, V. Ramana; Ferguson, Adam R.; Foreman, Brandon; Gardner, Raquel; Gaudette, Etienne; Goldman, Dana; Gonzalez, Luis; Gopinath, Shankar; Gullapalli, Rao; Hemphill, J. Claude; Hotz, Gillian; Jain, Sonia; Keene, C. Dirk; Korley, Frederick K.; Kramer, Joel; Kreitzer, Natalie; Lindsell, Chris; Machamer, Joan; Madden, Christopher; Martin, Alastair; McAllister, Thomas; Merchant, Randall; Ngwenya, Laura B.; Noel, Florence; Nolan, Amber; Palacios, Eva; Perl, Daniel; Puccio, Ava; Rabinowitz, Miri; Rosand, Jonathan; Sander, Angelle; Satris, Gabriella; Schnyer, David; Seabury, Seth; Sherer, Mark; Toga, Arthur; Valadka, Alex; Wang, Kevin; Yue, John K.; Yuh, Esther; Zafonte, Ross; Psychiatry, School of MedicineImportance: Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI) is a major cause of death and disability in the US and worldwide. Few studies have enabled prospective, longitudinal outcome data collection from the acute to chronic phases of recovery after msTBI. Objective: To prospectively assess outcomes in major areas of life function at 2 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months after msTBI. Design, setting, and participants: This cohort study, as part of the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in TBI (TRACK-TBI) study, was conducted at 18 level 1 trauma centers in the US from February 2014 to August 2018 and prospectively assessed longitudinal outcomes, with follow-up to 12 months postinjury. Participants were patients with msTBI (Glasgow Coma Scale scores 3-12) extracted from a larger group of patients with mild, moderate, or severe TBI who were enrolled in TRACK-TBI. Data analysis took place from October 2019 to April 2021. Exposures: Moderate or severe TBI. Main outcomes and measures: The Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) were used to assess global functional status 2 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury. Scores on the GOSE were dichotomized to determine favorable (scores 4-8) vs unfavorable (scores 1-3) outcomes. Neurocognitive testing and patient reported outcomes at 12 months postinjury were analyzed. Results: A total of 484 eligible patients were included from the 2679 individuals in the TRACK-TBI study. Participants with severe TBI (n = 362; 283 men [78.2%]; median [interquartile range] age, 35.5 [25-53] years) and moderate TBI (n = 122; 98 men [80.3%]; median [interquartile range] age, 38 [25-53] years) were comparable on demographic and premorbid variables. At 2 weeks postinjury, 36 of 290 participants with severe TBI (12.4%) and 38 of 93 participants with moderate TBI (41%) had favorable outcomes (GOSE scores 4-8); 301 of 322 in the severe TBI group (93.5%) and 81 of 103 in the moderate TBI group (78.6%) had moderate disability or worse on the DRS (total score ≥4). By 12 months postinjury, 142 of 271 with severe TBI (52.4%) and 54 of 72 with moderate TBI (75%) achieved favorable outcomes. Nearly 1 in 5 participants with severe TBI (52 of 270 [19.3%]) and 1 in 3 with moderate TBI (23 of 71 [32%]) reported no disability (DRS score 0) at 12 months. Among participants in a vegetative state at 2 weeks, 62 of 79 (78%) regained consciousness and 14 of 56 with available data (25%) regained orientation by 12 months. Conclusions and relevance: In this study, patients with msTBI frequently demonstrated major functional gains, including recovery of independence, between 2 weeks and 12 months postinjury. Severe impairment in the short term did not portend poor outcomes in a substantial minority of patients with msTBI. When discussing prognosis during the first 2 weeks after injury, clinicians should be particularly cautious about making early, definitive prognostic statements suggesting poor outcomes and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment in patients with msTBI.Item Incidence and prevalence of coma in the UK and the USA(Oxford University Press, 2022-09-01) Kondziella, Daniel; Amiri, Moshgan; Othman, Marwan H.; Beghi, Ettore; Bodien, Yelena G.; Citerio, Giuseppe; Giacino, Joseph T.; Mayer, Stephan A.; Lawson, Thomas N.; Menon, David K.; Rass, Verena; Sharshar, Tarek; Stevens, Robert D.; Tinti, Lorenzo; Vespa, Paul; McNett, Molly; Venkatasubba Rao, Chethan P.; Helbok, Raimund; Curing Coma Campaign Collaborators; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of MedicineThe epidemiology of coma is unknown because case ascertainment with traditional methods is difficult. Here, we used crowdsourcing methodology to estimate the incidence and prevalence of coma in the UK and the USA. We recruited UK and US laypeople (aged ≥18 years) who were nationally representative (i.e. matched for age, gender and ethnicity according to census data) of the UK and the USA, respectively, utilizing a crowdsourcing platform. We provided a description of coma and asked survey participants if they-'right now' or 'within the last year'-had a family member in coma. These participants (UK n = 994, USA n = 977) provided data on 30 387 family members (UK n = 14 124, USA n = 16 263). We found more coma cases in the USA (n = 47) than in the UK (n = 20; P = 0.009). We identified one coma case in the UK (0.007%, 95% confidence interval 0.00-0.04%) on the day of the survey and 19 new coma cases (0.13%, 95% confidence interval 0.08-0.21%) within the preceding year, resulting in an annual incidence of 135/100 000 (95% confidence interval 81-210) and a point prevalence of 7 cases per 100 000 population (95% confidence interval 0.18-39.44) in the UK. We identified five cases in the USA (0.031%, 95% confidence interval 0.01-0.07%) on the day of the survey and 42 new cases (0.26%, 95% confidence interval 0.19-0.35%) within the preceding year, resulting in an annual incidence of 258/100 000 (95% confidence interval 186-349) and a point prevalence of 31 cases per 100 000 population (95% confidence interval 9.98-71.73) in the USA. The five most common causes were stroke, medically induced coma, COVID-19, traumatic brain injury and cardiac arrest. To summarize, for the first time, we report incidence and prevalence estimates for coma across diagnosis types and settings in the UK and the USA using crowdsourcing methods. Coma may be more prevalent in the USA than in the UK, which requires further investigation. These data are urgently needed to expand the public health perspective on coma and disorders of consciousness.Item Invariance of the Bifactor Structure of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Symptoms on the Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire across Time, Demographic Characteristics, and Clinical Groups: A TRACK-TBI Study(Sage, 2021) Agtarap, Stephanie; Kramer, Mark D.; Campbell-Sills, Laura; Yuh, Esther; Mukherjee, Pratik; Manley, Geoffrey T.; McCrea, Michael A.; Dikmen, Sureyya; Giacino, Joseph T.; Stein, Murray B.; Nelson, Lindsay D.; TRACK-TBI Investigators; Psychiatry, School of MedicineThis study aimed to elucidate the structure of the Rivermead Postconcussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ) and evaluate its longitudinal and group variance. Factor structures were developed and compared in 1,011 patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI; i.e., Glasgow Coma Scale score 13-15) from the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in TBI study, using RPQ data collected at 2 weeks, and 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury. A bifactor model specifying a general factor and emotional, cognitive, and visual symptom factors best represented the latent structure of the RPQ. The model evinced strict measurement invariance over time and across sex, age, race, psychiatric history, and mTBI severity groups, indicating that differences in symptom endorsement were completely accounted for by these latent dimensions. While highly unidimensional, the RPQ has multidimensional features observable through a bifactor model, which may help differentiate symptom expression patterns in the future.Item Minimum Competency Recommendations for Programs That Provide Rehabilitation Services for Persons With Disorders of Consciousness: A Position Statement of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems(Elsevier, 2020-02) Giacino, Joseph T.; Whyte, John; Nakase-Richardson, Risa; Katz, Douglas I.; Arciniegas, David B.; Blum, Sonja; Day, Kristin; Greenwald, Brian D.; Hammond, Flora M.; Pape, Theresa Bender; Rosenbaum, Amy; Seel, Ronald T.; Weintraub, Alan; Yablon, Stuart; Zafonte, Ross D.; Zasler, Nathan; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of MedicinePersons who have disorders of consciousness (DoC) require care from multidisciplinary teams with specialized training and expertise in management of the complex needs of this clinical population. The recent promulgation of practice guidelines for patients with prolonged DoC by the American Academy of Neurology, American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM), and National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) represents a major advance in the development of care standards in this area of brain injury rehabilitation. Implementation of these practice guidelines requires explication of the minimum competencies of clinical programs providing services to persons who have DoC. The Brain Injury Interdisciplinary Special Interest Group of the ACRM, in collaboration with the Disorders of Consciousness Special Interest Group of the NIDILRR-Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems convened a multidisciplinary panel of experts to address this need through the present position statement. Content area-specific workgroups reviewed relevant peer-reviewed literature and drafted recommendations which were then evaluated by the expert panel using a modified Delphi voting process. The process yielded 21 recommendations on the structure and process of essential services required for effective DoC-focused rehabilitation, organized into 4 categories: diagnostic and prognostic assessment (4 recommendations), treatment (11 recommendations), transitioning care/long-term care needs (5 recommendations), and management of ethical issues (1 recommendation). With few exceptions, these recommendations focus on infrastructure requirements and operating procedures for the provision of DoC-focused neurorehabilitation services across subacute and postacute settings.Item Pathological Computed Tomography Features Associated With Adverse Outcomes After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury(American Medical Association, 2021) Yuh, Esther L.; Jain, Sonia; Sun, Xiaoying; Pisică, Dana; Harris, Mark H.; Taylor, Sabrina R.; Markowitz, Amy J.; Mukherjee, Pratik; Verheyden, Jan; Giacino, Joseph T.; Levin, Harvey S.; McCrea, Michael; Stein, Murray B.; Temkin, Nancy R.; Diaz-Arrastia, Ramon; Robertson, Claudia S.; Lingsma, Hester F.; Okonkwo, David O.; Maas, Andrew I. R.; Manley, Geoffrey T.; TRACK-TBI Investigators for the CENTER-TBI Investigators; Adeoye, Opeolu; Badjatia, Neeraj; Boase, Kim; Bodien, Yelena; Corrigan, John D.; Crawford, Karen; Dikmen, Sureyya; Duhaime, Ann-Christine; Ellenbogen, Richard; Feeser, V.

In moderate to severe TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] scores 3-12), some CT features have been shown to be associated with outcomes. In mild TBI (mTBI; GCS scores 13-15), distribution and co-occurrence of pathological CT features and their prognostic importance are not well understood. Objective: To identify pathological CT features associated with adverse outcomes after mTBI. Design, setting, and participants: The longitudinal, observational Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in Traumatic Brain Injury (TRACK-TBI) study enrolled patients with TBI, including those 17 years and older with GCS scores of 13 to 15 who presented to emergency departments at 18 US level 1 trauma centers between February 26, 2014, and August 8, 2018, and underwent head CT imaging within 24 hours of TBI. Evaluations of CT imaging used TBI Common Data Elements. Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) scores were assessed at 2 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury. External validation of results was performed via the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study. Data analyses were completed from February 2020 to February 2021. Exposures: Acute nonpenetrating head trauma. Main outcomes and measures: Frequency, co-occurrence, and clustering of CT features; incomplete recovery (GOSE scores <8 vs 8); and an unfavorable outcome (GOSE scores <5 vs ≥5) at 2 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months. Results: In 1935 patients with mTBI (mean [SD] age, 41.5 [17.6] years; 1286 men [66.5%]) in the TRACK-TBI cohort and 2594 patients with mTBI (mean [SD] age, 51.8 [20.3] years; 1658 men [63.9%]) in an external validation cohort, hierarchical cluster analysis identified 3 major clusters of CT features: contusion, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and/or subdural hematoma; intraventricular and/or petechial hemorrhage; and epidural hematoma. Contusion, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and/or subdural hematoma features were associated with incomplete recovery (odds ratios [ORs] for GOSE scores <8 at 1 year: TRACK-TBI, 1.80 [95% CI, 1.39-2.33]; CENTER-TBI, 2.73 [95% CI, 2.18-3.41]) and greater degrees of unfavorable outcomes (ORs for GOSE scores <5 at 1 year: TRACK-TBI, 3.23 [95% CI, 1.59-6.58]; CENTER-TBI, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.13-2.49]) out to 12 months after injury, but epidural hematoma was not. Intraventricular and/or petechial hemorrhage was associated with greater degrees of unfavorable outcomes up to 12 months after injury (eg, OR for GOSE scores <5 at 1 year in TRACK-TBI: 3.47 [95% CI, 1.66-7.26]). Some CT features were more strongly associated with outcomes than previously validated variables (eg, ORs for GOSE scores <5 at 1 year in TRACK-TBI: neuropsychiatric history, 1.43 [95% CI .98-2.10] vs contusion, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and/or subdural hematoma, 3.23 [95% CI 1.59-6.58]). Findings were externally validated in 2594 patients with mTBI enrolled in the CENTER-TBI study. Conclusions and relevance: In this study, pathological CT features carried different prognostic implications after mTBI to 1 year postinjury. Some patterns of injury were associated with worse outcomes than others. These results support that patients with mTBI and these CT features need TBI-specific education and systematic follow-up.
