Premorbid psychosocial status and functional measures at inpatient rehabilitation admission as predictors of functional outcome, community integration, psychosocial status and satisfaction with life
Abstract: The objective of this study is to better characterize the predictive abilities of premorbid factors, the DRS, and the FIM at inpatient rehabilitation admission with regard to status on various domains at discharge and at one year post-injury. It would significantly assist the clinician/case manager to know the predictive abilities of these scales, which are often the only ones available at inpatient admission, in order to better assess likely outcome in the short- and long-term... more

Ethnicity and Employment Outcome after TBI
Abstract: Previous investigations have shown that minority persons have poorer employment outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present investigation seeks to investigate associated factors that contribute to these poorer outcomes. Based on prior research, we expect that the poorer outcomes for minority persons will be largely medicated by education level, pre-injury employment status, cause of injury, and other factors... more

Relationship of early neuropsychological functioning with supervision needs one year after traumatic brain injury
Abstract: A recently completed study employing TBI Model Systems data revealed that cognitive deficits at one year after TBI are associated with a higher need for supervision at that time, among individuals who do not have significant motor deficits. The present study will examine the relationship between cognitive deficits early in the course of recovery (using the neuropsychological evaluation completed during inpatient rehabilitation) and supervision needs at one year after the trauma. The goal is to establish (if possible) guidelines for clinicians to follow in advising survivors and family members about potential supervision needs in the future.
