    Even Mild Head Injury Increases the Risk of Ischemic Stroke, Study Shows - 2 year(s) ago

    September 15, 2023 — Suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) – no matter how severe – is associated with a significantly increased risk of ischemic stroke in a diverse group of U.S. adults, according to new research being presented at the 148th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA). Suffering more than one head injury further increased the risk.   “Our study found that those who experience two or more head injuries, including even mild head injuries, are at higher risk of subsequent ischemic stroke,” said Holly Elser, MD, PhD, lead author of the study and a neurology resident at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. “The findings underscore the importance of public health interventions to reduce the risk of head injury as well as measures aimed at stroke prevention among individuals with a prior head injury.”    TBIs can be mild, moderate or severe. The research team analyzed data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study

    Long-term Multidomain Patterns of Change After Traumatic Brain Injury - 2 year(s) ago

    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/i

      Study findings support conceptualizing traumatic brain injury as a chronic condition that requires routine monitoring, responsive care, and support, adapting to evolving patient needs over many years. Learn more: https://t.co/wu4JwJvobK #NeuroTwitter #TBI https://t.co/6HkKxbt4bD
