Objective
To assess the association between perceived stigma and discrimination and caregiver strain, caregiver well-being, and patient community reintegration.Design
A cross-sectional survey study of 564 informal caregivers of U.S. military service veterans of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who experienced traumatic brain injuries or polytrauma (TBI/PT).Setting
Care settings of community-dwelling former inpatients of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers.Participants
Caregivers of former inpatients (N=564), identified through next-of-kin records and subsequent nominations.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Caregiver strain, depression, anxiety, loneliness, and self-esteem; as well as care recipient community reintegration, a key aspect of TBI/PT rehabilitation.Results
Family stigma was associated with strain, depression, anxiety, loneliness, lower self-esteem, and less community reintegration. Caregiver stigma-by-association was associated with strain, depression, anxiety, loneliness, and lower self-esteem. Care recipient stigma was associated with caregiver strain, depression, anxiety, loneliness, lower self-esteem, and less community reintegration.Conclusions
Perceived stigma may be a substantial source of stress for caregivers of U.S. military veterans with TBI/PT, and may contribute to poor outcomes for the health of caregivers and for the community reintegration of the veterans for whom they provide care. 相似文献2.

Objective
To describe the relationship between caregiver-specific support and conflict, and psychosocial outcomes among individuals experiencing their first dysvascular lower extremity amputation (LEA).Design
Cross-sectional cohort study using self-report surveys.Setting
Department of Veterans Affairs, academic medical center, and level I trauma center.Participants
Individuals undergoing their first major LEA because of complications of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or diabetes who have a caregiver and completed measures of caregiver support and conflict (N=137; 94.9% men).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to assess depression and the Satisfaction With Life Scale to assess life satisfaction.Results
In multiple regression analyses, controlling for global levels of perceived support, self-rated health, age, and mobility, caregiver-specific support was found to be associated with higher levels of life satisfaction and caregiver-specific conflict was found to be associated with lower levels of life satisfaction and higher levels of depressive symptoms.Conclusions
The specific relationship between individuals with limb loss and their caregivers may be an important determinant of well-being. Conflict with caregivers, which has received little attention thus far in the limb loss literature, appears to play a particularly important role. Individuals with limb loss may benefit from interventions with their caregivers that both enhance support and reduce conflict. 相似文献3.

Objective
To characterize behavioral and health outcomes in veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) acquired in nondeployment and deployment settings.Design
Cross-sectional assessment evaluating TBI acquired during and outside of deployment, mental and behavioral health symptoms, and diagnoses.Setting
Veterans Affairs Medical Centers.Participants
Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who were deployed to a warzone (N=1399).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Comprehensive lifetime TBI interview, Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Disorders, Combat Exposure Scale, and behavioral and health measures.Results
There was a main effect of deployment TBI on depressive symptoms, posttraumatic stress symptoms, poor sleep quality, substance use, and pain. Veterans with deployment TBI were also more likely to have a diagnosis of bipolar, major depressive, alcohol use, and posttraumatic stress disorders than those who did not have a deployment TBI.Conclusions
TBIs acquired during deployment are associated with different behavioral and health outcomes than TBI acquired in nondeployment environments. The presence of TBI during deployment is associated with poorer behavioral outcomes, as well as a greater lifetime prevalence of behavioral and health problems in contrast to veterans without deployment TBI. These results indicate that problems may persist chronically after a deployment TBI and should be considered when providing care for veterans. Veterans with deployment TBI may require treatment alterations to improve engagement and outcomes. 相似文献4.

Objective
To prospectively compare the proportion of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) that would be classified as mild by applying different published definitions of mild TBI to a large prospectively collected dataset, and to examine the variability in the proportions included by various definitions.Design
Prospective observational study.Setting
Hospital emergency departments.Participants
Children (N=11,907) aged 3 to 16 years (mean age, 8.2±3.9y). Of the participants, 3868 (32.5%) were girls, and 7374 (61.9%) of the TBIs were the result of a fall. Median Glasgow Coma Scale score was 15.Main Outcome Measures
We applied 17 different definitions of mild TBI, identified through a published systematic review, to children aged 3 to 16 years. Adjustments and clarifications were made to some definitions. The number and percentage identified for each definition is presented.Results
Adjustments had to be made to the 17 definitions to apply to the dataset: none in 7, minor to substantial in 10. The percentage classified as mild TBI across definitions varied from 7.1% (n=841) to 98.7% (n=11,756) and varied by age group.Conclusions
When applying the 17 definitions of mild TBI to a large prospective multicenter dataset of TBI, there was wide variability in the number of cases classified. Clinicians and researchers need to be aware of this variability when examining literature concerning children with mild TBI. 相似文献5.

Objectives
To evaluate (1) the trajectory of resilience during the first year after a moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI); (2) factors associated with resilience at 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury; and (3) changing relationships over time between resilience and other factors.Design
Longitudinal analysis of an observational cohort.Setting
Five inpatient rehabilitation centers.Participants
Patients with TBI (N=195) enrolled in the resilience module of the TBI Model Systems study with data collected at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.Results
Initially, resilience levels appeared to be stable during the first year postinjury. Individual growth curve models were used to examine resilience over time in relation to demographic, psychosocial, and injury characteristics. After adjusting for these characteristics, resilience actually declined over time. Higher levels of resilience were related to nonminority status, absence of preinjury substance abuse, lower anxiety and disability level, and greater life satisfaction.Conclusions
Resilience is a construct that is relevant to understanding brain injury outcomes and has potential value in planning clinical interventions. 相似文献6.

Objective
To test the feasibility and validity of an online version of an established interview designed to determine a lifetime history of traumatic brain injury (TBI).Design
Cross-sectional.Setting
General community.Participants
A volunteer sample of individuals (N= 265) from the general population across the United States.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure(s)
Online version of the Ohio State University Traumatic Brain Injury Identification Method, Rivermead Postconcussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Cognitive Concerns Scale.Results
The measure was completed by 89.4% of the sample with most participants completing the measure in <8 minutes. After controlling for age, sex, psychiatric history, drug or alcohol history, and history of developmental disability, worst TBI severity was significantly associated with scores on the RPQ, F(2,230)=4.56, P=.011, and having a TBI within the past 2 years was associated with higher scores on the cognitive factor subscale of the RPQ, F(1,75)=7.7, P=.007.Conclusions
The online administration of the Ohio State University Traumatic Brain Injury Identification Method appears to be feasible in the general population. Preliminary validity was demonstrated for the indices of worst TBI severity and time since most recent TBI. 相似文献7.

Objectives
To develop, for versions completed by individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and an observer, a more precise metric for the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Irritability and Aggression subscales using all behavioral item ratings for use with individuals with TBI and to address the dimensionality of the represented behavioral domains.Design
Rasch and confirmatory factor analyses of retrospective baseline NPI data from 3 treatment studies.Setting
Postacute rehabilitation clinic.Participants
NPI records (N = 525) consisting of observer ratings (n = 287) and self-ratings (n = 238) by participants with complicated mild, moderate, or severe TBI at least 6 months postinjury.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Frequency and severity ratings from NPI Irritability/Lability and Agitation/Aggression subscales.Results
Confirmatory factor analyses of both observer and participant ratings showed good fit for either a 1-factor or a 2-factor solution. Consistent with this, the Rasch model also fit the data well with aggression items indicating the more severe end of the construct and irritability items populating the milder end.Conclusions
Irritability and aggression appear to represent different levels of severity of a single construct. The derived Rasch metric offers a measure of this construct based on responses to all specific items that is appropriate for parametric statistical analysis and may be useful in research and clinical assessments of individuals with TBI. 相似文献8.

Objectives
To describe the prevalence of cannabis use in an adult sample with spinal cord injury (SCI) or traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Colorado, and to describe the self-reported reasons and side effects of cannabis use in this sample.Design
Mixed-methods observational study, using focus group data and telephone survey.Setting
Community.Participants
Colorado adults who sustained SCI or moderate to severe TBI and received services through Craig Hospital.Interventions
None.Main Outcome Measures
Survey.Results
Focus group participants identified issues that were then included in the survey development. Seventy percent of the 116 participants surveyed reported cannabis use before their injury (67% SCI, 74% TBI) and 48% reported use after their injury (53% SCI, 45% TBI). Overall, the most common reason for use was recreational (67%), followed by reducing stress/anxiety (62.5%) and improving sleep (59%). Among the respondents with SCI, the most common reasons for use were to reduce spasticity (70%), recreation (63%), and to improve sleep (63%). Among those with TBI, reasons endorsed were recreational (72%), reducing stress/anxiety (62%), and improving sleep (55%). Smoking was the most common method of use.Conclusions
A majority of this sample reported using cannabis before injury, and approximately half reported using cannabis after injury. Both groups reported recreational use, whereas the group with SCI also highly endorsed using cannabis to address chronic medical conditions. Clinicians should be aware of the high prevalence of cannabis use in these populations and the impact such use may have on the individual’s medical management. Further research in this area is needed. 相似文献10.

Objective
To explore the perceived barriers and facilitators of tele-rehabilitation (TR) by stroke patients, caregivers and rehabilitation therapists in an Asian setting.Design
Qualitative study involving semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus group discussions.Setting
General community.Participants
Participants (N=37) including stroke patients, their caregivers, and tele-therapists selected by purposive sampling.Interventions
Singapore Tele-technology Aided Rehabilitation in Stroke trial.Main Outcome Measures
Perceived barriers and facilitators for TR uptake, as reported by patients, their caregivers, and tele-therapists.Results
Thematic analysis was used to inductively identify the following themes: facilitators identified by patients were affordability and accessibility; by tele-therapists, was filling a service gap and common to both was unexpected benefits such as detection of uncontrolled hypertension. Barriers identified by patients were equipment setup–related difficulties and limited scope of exercises; barriers identified by tele-therapists were patient assessments, interface problems and limited scope of exercises; and common to both were connectivity barriers. Patient characteristics like age, stroke severity, caregiver support, and cultural influence modified patient perceptions and choice of rehabilitation.Conclusions
Patient attributes and context are significant determinants in adoption and compliance of stroke patients to technology driven interventions like TR. Policy recommendations from our work are inclusion of introductory videos in TR programs, provision of technical support to older patients, longer FaceTime sessions as re-enforcement for severely disabled stroke patients, and training of tele-therapists in assessment methods suitable for virtual platforms. 相似文献11.
Background
Depression and traumatic brain injury (TBI) substantially contribute to the U.S. health care burden. Depression is a known risk factor for prolonged recovery after TBI. However, the effect of depression treatment on health care utilization has yet to be studied.Objective
To examine whether an association exists between pharmacologic treatment of depression at the time of mild or concussive TBI and the number of subsequent clinician visits for persistent injury-related symptoms.Design
Retrospective medical record review.Setting
Tertiary care medical center.Participants
A total of 120 patients (mean age 45.6 years) with a history of depression who subsequently experienced a mild or concussive TBI were included.Methods
Individuals were identified with co-occurring diagnoses of depression and mild or concussive TBI by retrospective electronic medical record review. The diagnosis of depression must have preceded the diagnosis of TBI.Main Outcome
The number of clinician visits for postinjury symptoms were counted at 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury.Results
Clinician visits for persistent injury-related symptoms were significantly fewer at all 3 time points for the group treated for depression at time of injury.Conclusions
Depressed individuals who were pharmacologically treated for depression at the time of TBI had significantly fewer clinician visits for persistent postinjury symptoms than those not pharmacologically treated for depression at the time of injury. Routine depression screening in patients with a high risk for TBI may identify a mood disorder that could contribute to persistent symptoms if left untreated, with its effective management potentially reducing health-related costs.Level of Evidence

Objective
To determine the extent to which the content of the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QoL) covers the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Sets for multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), and traumatic brain injury (TBI) using summary linkage indicators.Design
Content analysis by linking content of the Neuro-QoL to corresponding ICF codes of each Core Set for MS, stroke, SCI, and TBI.Setting
Three academic centers.Participants
None.Interventions
None.Main Outcome Measures
Four summary linkage indicators proposed by MacDermid et al were estimated to compare the content coverage between Neuro-QoL and the ICF codes of Core Sets for MS, stroke, MS, and TBI.Results
Neuro-QoL represented 20% to 30% Core Set codes for different conditions in which more codes in Core Sets for MS (29%), stroke (28%), and TBI (28%) were covered than those for SCI in the long-term (20%) and early postacute (19%) contexts. Neuro-QoL represented nearly half of the unique Activity and Participation codes (43%–49%) and less than one third of the unique Body Function codes (12%?32%). It represented fewer Environmental Factors codes (2%?6%) and no Body Structures codes. Absolute linkage indicators found that at least 60% of Neuro-QoL items were linked to Core Set codes (63%?95%), but many items covered the same codes as revealed by unique linkage indicators (7%?13%), suggesting high concept redundancy among items.Conclusions
The Neuro-QoL links more closely to ICF Core Sets for stroke, MS, and TBI than to those for SCI, and primarily covers activity and participation ICF domains. Other instruments are needed to address concepts not measured by the Neuro-QoL when a comprehensive health assessment is needed. 相似文献13.

Objective
To evaluate the effectiveness of a replicable group treatment program for improving social competence after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Design
Multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing 2 methods of conducting a social competency skills program, an interactive group format versus a classroom lecture.Setting
Community and veteran rehabilitation centers.Participants
Civilian, military, and veteran adults with TBI and social competence difficulties (N=179), at least 6 months postinjury.Interventions
The experimental intervention consisted of 13 weekly group interactive sessions (1.5h) with structured and facilitated group interactions to improve social competence, and the control consisted of 13 traditional classroom sessions using the same curriculum with brief supplemental individual sessions but without structured group interaction.Main Outcome Measures
Profile of Pragmatic Impairment in Communication (PPIC), an objective behavioral rating of social communication impairments after TBI. LaTrobe Communication Questionnaire (LCQ), Goal Attainment Scale (GAS), Satisfaction with Life Scale, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-C (PCL) civilian version, Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI-18), Scale of Perceived Social Self-Efficacy (PSSE).Results
Social competence goals (GAS) were achieved and maintained for most participants regardless of treatment method. Significant improvements in the primary outcome (PPIC) and 2 of the secondary outcomes (LCQ and BSI) were seen immediately posttreatment and at 3 months posttreatment in the alternative treatment arm only; however, these improvements were not significantly different between the group interactive structured treatment and alternative treatment arms. Similar trends were observed for PSSE and PCL-C.Conclusions
Social competence skills improved for persons with TBI in both treatment conditions. The group interactive format was not found to be a superior method of treatment delivery in this study. 相似文献14.

Objective
To investigate the relation between posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptom severity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).Design
Longitudinal prospective multicenter, cohort study on severe TBI in Switzerland (2007–2011).Setting
Hospital, rehabilitation unit, and/or patient’s living facility.Participants
Patients with severe TBI (N=109) were included in the analyses. Injury severity was determined using the Abbreviated Injury Score of the head region after clinical assessment and initial computed tomography scan.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
HRQoL (Medical Outcomes Study 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey Physical and Mental Component Summaries) and self-reported emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal functioning (Patient Competency Rating Scale for Neurorehabilitation).Results
Multilevel models for patients >50 and ≤50 years of age revealed significant negative associations between PTS symptom severity and interpersonal functioning (P<.001 and P=.002), respectively. Among patients ≤50 years of age, PTS symptom severity was significantly associated with total functioning (P=.001) and emotional functioning (P<.001). Among all patients, PTS symptom severity was significantly associated with cognitive functioning (P<.001) and mental HRQoL (P=.01).Conclusions
Findings indicate that PTS symptoms after severe TBI are negatively associated with HRQoL and emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal functioning. 相似文献15.

Background
Mental health problems are common after pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many patients in need of mental health services do not receive them, but studies have not consistently used prospective and objective methods or followed samples for more than 1 year.Objective
To examine adolescents’ use of mental health services after TBI.Design
Secondary analysis from multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial.Setting
Five level 1 U.S. trauma centers.Participants
Adolescents aged 12-17 years with moderate-to-severe TBI were recruited for a randomized clinical trial (n = 132 at baseline, 124 at 6 months, 113 at 12 months, and 101 at 18 months).Methods
Participants were randomly assigned to counselor-assisted problem-solving or Internet resource comparison. Follow-up assessments were completed at 6, 12, and 18 months after baseline. Generalized estimating equations with a logit link were used to examine use of mental health services. Treatment group and participant impairment were examined as predictors of use.Main Outcome Measurements
Mental health care use was measured with the Service Assessment for Children and Adolescents; daily functioning and clinical outcome with the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale; behavioral and emotional functioning with the Child Behavior Checklist; and executive dysfunction with the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function.Results
Use of mental health services ranged from 22% to 31% in the 2 years post-TBI. Participants with impairments were about 3 times more likely than those without impairments to receive services (odds ratio 4.61; 95% confidence interval 2.61-8.14; P < .001). However, 50%-68% of patients identified as impaired had unmet mental health care needs.Conclusions
Less than one half of adolescents with behavioral health needs after TBI received mental health services. Future studies are needed to examine barriers associated with seeking services after TBI and psychoeducation as preventive care for this population.Level of Evidence

Objective
To comprehensively estimate the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Clinical Reminder Screen (TCRS).Design
Cross-sectional, prospective, observational study using the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy criteria.Setting
Three VA Polytrauma Network Sites.Participants
Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom veterans (N=433).Main Outcome Measures
TCRS, Comprehensive TBI Evaluation, Structured TBI Diagnostic Interview, Symptom Attribution and Classification Algorithm, and Clinician-Administered Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Scale.Results
Forty-five percent of veterans screened positive on the TCRS for TBI. For detecting occurrence of historical TBI, the TCRS had a sensitivity of .56 to .74, a specificity of .63 to .93, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 25% to 45%, a negative predictive value (NPV) of 91% to 94%, and a diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of 4 to 13. For accuracy of attributing active symptoms to the TBI, the TCRS had a sensitivity of .64 to .87, a specificity of .59 to .89, a PPV of 26% to 32%, an NPV of 92% to 95%, and a DOR of 6 to 9. The sensitivity was higher for veterans with PTSD (.80–.86) relative to veterans without PTSD (.57–.82). The specificity, however, was higher among veterans without PTSD (.75–.81) relative to veterans with PTSD (.36–.49). All indices of diagnostic accuracy changed when participants with questionably valid (QV) test profiles were eliminated from analyses.Conclusions
The utility of the TCRS to screen for mild TBI (mTBI) depends on the stringency of the diagnostic reference standard to which it is being compared, the presence/absence of PTSD, and QV test profiles. Further development, validation, and use of reproducible diagnostic algorithms for symptom attribution after possible mTBI would improve diagnostic accuracy. 相似文献17.

Objective
To investigate the effects of age and sex on 30-, 60-, and 90-day hospital readmission after acute hospital discharge for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
Acute hospitals and postacute discharge settings.Participants
Individuals (N=52,877) with Diagnosis Related Group codes of TBI, who were divided into 4 age groups: 18 to 40, 41 to 65, 66 to 75, and ≥76 years.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
All-cause hospital readmission.Results
Sex differences in 30-, 60-, and 90-day hospital readmission were found among all age groups (P<.05 for all). The largest sex differences in hospital readmission were in the 2 oldest groups (66–75 and ≥76y). For both sexes, the oldest group (≥76y) had the highest adjusted 90-day readmission risk (eg, 90-d readmission: odds ratio, 2.32 [95% confidence interval, 2.01–2.69] for men; odds ratio, 1.96 [95% confidence interval, 1.59–2.43] for women). Among those readmitted within 90 days, the youngest group (18–40y) had the highest cumulative readmission percentage (35% for both sexes) within the first week of hospital discharge.Conclusions
Age and sex were significantly associated with hospital readmission during the first 90 days postdischarge in our TBI sample. Specifically, those aged 66 to 75 or ≥76 years had the highest readmission risk over 90 days for both sexes. The findings suggest that clinicians should consider age and sex in discharge planning and for the entire episode of care for the population with TBI. 相似文献18.

Objective
To assess the efficacy of activities of daily living (ADL) retraining during posttraumatic amnesia (PTA) compared with ADL retraining commencing after emergence from PTA.Design
Randomized controlled trial.Setting
Inpatient rehabilitation center.Participants
Participants with severe TBI (N=104), admitted to rehabilitation and remaining in PTA for >7 days, were randomized to receive either treatment as usual (TAU) with daily ADL retraining (treatment), or TAU alone (physiotherapy and/or necessary speech therapy) during PTA.Interventions
ADL retraining was manualized, followed errorless and procedural learning principles, and included individualized goals. Both groups received occupational therapy as usual after PTA.Main Outcome Measures
Primary outcome was the FIM completed at admission, PTA emergence, discharge, and 2-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes included length of rehabilitation inpatient stay, PTA duration, Agitated Behavior Scale scores, and Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) scores at follow-up. Groups did not significantly differ in baseline characteristics.Results
On the primary outcome, FIM total change, random effects regression revealed a significant interaction of group and time (P<.01). The treatment group had greater improvement in FIM scores from baseline to PTA emergence, which was maintained at discharge, but not at follow-up. Twenty-seven percent more of the treatment group reliably changed on FIM scores at PTA emergence. Group differences in length of stay, PTA duration, agitation, and CIQ scores were not significant; however, TAU trended toward longer length of stay and PTA duration.Conclusions
Individuals in PTA can benefit from skill retraining. 相似文献19.

Objective
To determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for a Rasch measure derived from the Irritability/Lability and Agitation/Aggression subscales of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)—the Rasch NPI Irritability and Aggression Scale for Traumatic Brain Injury (NPI-TBI-IA).Design
Distribution-based statistical methods were applied to retrospective data to determine candidates for the MCID. These candidates were evaluated by anchoring the NPI-TBI-IA to Global Impression of Change (GIC) ratings by participants, significant others, and a supervising physician.Setting
Postacute rehabilitation outpatient clinic.Participants
274 cases with observer ratings; 232 cases with self-ratings by participants with moderate-severe TBI at least 6 months postinjury.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
NPI-TBI-IA.Results
For observer ratings on the NPI-TBI-IA, anchored comparisons found an improvement of 0.5 SD was associated with at least minimal general improvement on GIC by a significant majority (69%–80%); 0.5 SD improvement on participant NPI-TBI-IA self-ratings was also associated with at least minimal improvement on the GIC by a substantial majority (77%–83%). The percentage indicating significant global improvement did not increase markedly on most ratings at higher levels of improvement on the NPI-TBI-IA.Conclusions
A 0.5 SD improvement on the NPI-TBI-IA indicates the MCID for both observer and participant ratings on this measure. 相似文献20.
