A Pilot Project to Identifying Women with TBI Due to Domestic Violence | ||
Abstract: This project sought to determine the number of women seeking treatment in emergency departments who are identified as involved in an abusive relationship and have experienced mild brain injuries. Women seen by social workers for assessment at the time of emergency visit because of suspected domestic violence were asked brief screening questions to determine the frequency of blows to the head, altered consciousness due to trauma, and temporary or permanent consequences. Our findings revealed that among subjects who were identified and screened, a significant proportion had residual neurobehavioral symptoms that they associated with the occurrence of trauma to the head. The results of this study are consistent with previous studies that... more | ||

Substance abuse as a contributing factor to violence-induced injuries & long-term outcomes | ||
Abstract: The objective was to determine the relative contributions of substance abuse history and violent etiology to the prediction of outcomes for individuals who sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) requiring inpatient rehabilitation. In this study, almost 80% of persons with injuries due to violence-related causes had a history of substance abuse. Substance abuse was found to contribute to the prediction of life satisfaction and productivity, while violent etiology was not a significant contributor to predictive models. The results of this study emphasize the need to include substance abuse history in all studies of outcomes following TBI, and to increase prevention efforts in order to limit the effects of such a history... more | ||

The Role of Agitation in Prediction of Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury | ||
Abstract: The objective of this project was to determine the role of agitation in the prediction of TBI rehabilitation outcomes. Multivariate analyses indicated that cognitive functioning at admission to rehabilitation (FIM Cognitive) mediates the relationship between the presence of agitation and length of rehabilitation, as well as between agitation and FIM Cognitive at discharge. Similar results were found when discharge residence was the dependent variable, however agitation also contributed some unique variance to the prediction. The results of the multivariate analyses support the contention that agitation and cognition are intimately related, with the long-term effects of the former being at least partially driven by the latter. These... more | ||

Systematic Bias in Long-Term Outcome Studies due to Loss to Follow-up | ||
Abstract: Three longitudinal databases have been analyzed using parallel procedures. "Lost" subjects were defined as those who were eligible for follow-up but no information was collected from the person with TBI, or a proxy, for any reason (e.g. refused, expired, no response to contact, unable to be interviewed). Each database was analyzed separately for each follow-up year. Univariate analysis were first conducted to identify all variables in each dataset for which there was a difference (p... more | ||

The Effectiveness of a Brief Intervention for Awareness of Deficits | ||
Abstract: One sequela of traumatic brain injury is lack of awareness of deficits. Without awareness, individuals have difficulty recognizing the relevance of rehabilitation. Consequently, they may cooperate with treatment only superficially, or may drop out of treatment altogether. A preliminary study indicated individuals who dropped out of rehabilitation because they did not perceive it as useful were more likely to experience sub-optimal outcomes one year after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of two brief interventions (motivational interviewing and education) for improving awareness and outcomes. It was found that changes in awareness were similar for individuals who received the... more | ||

A Naturalistic Study of the Role of Vocational Rehabilitation Services in Return to Work after Traumatic Brain Injury | ||
Abstract: Few persons with severe brain injuries who were employed prior to injury are able to become employed after. While variables that predict return to work have been studied, the effect of receiving state-federal vocational rehabilitation services has received less attention.. The present study investigates the vocational rehabilitation experience of 200 admissions to a specialized brain injury rehabilitation unit. Using subjects from the Ohio Valley CenterÂ’s Suboptimal Outcomes Study, this study investigates the role of vocational rehabilitation services in mediating employment outcomes; as well as predictive factors in accessing vocational rehabilitation services, the course of rehabilitation, and subsequent outcome. It was found that in... more | ||

Predicting Life Satisfaction Following Traumatic Brain Injury | ||
Abstract: Stepwise multiple regressions were conducted, and a small, but significant, proportion of the variance in life satisfaction was predicted. Individuals who did not have a history of substance abuse and were gainfully employed at follow-up reported higher life satisfaction at 1 and 2 years post-injury. Motor independence was also a significant predictor at one year follow-up, while social integration and the absence of depression were predictors at two year follow-up. Life satisfaction tended to be stable during the two years; marital status and depression predicted what change that did occur... more | ||

The Cost Effectiveness of Early Enterostomy Tube Placement After Traumatic Brain Injury | ||
Abstract: The survivor of traumatic brain injury is at risk for nutritional problems due to hypermetabolism. Adequate nutritional support provided within 48 hours after injury has been shown to improve neurological recovery and decrease complications. Various methods of nutritional support are available, including total parenteral nutrition and enteral nutrition, and there is considerable controversy regarding the best method. The current study is evaluating two types of enteral feeding, nasogastric and enterostomy tubes, to determine their relationships with rehabilitation outcomes and cost of care... more | ||

The Cost Effectiveness of Early Intervention for Substance Abuse | ||
Abstract: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the cost effectiveness for persons with traumatic brain injuries of early versus late treatment of substance abuse using a case management model. The early group were those individuals who initiate treatment within one year post-injury; the late group were those initiating treatment two to five years post-injury. Outcomes after nine months of treatment were compared between groups, as well as with a comparison group of subjects with substance abuse problems, matched for time post-injury, who did not receive case management. Cost per client (based on staff contact hours) of changes in substance use, community integration, and subjective well-being were compared between early and late... more | ||

Effectiveness of the SASSI .3 in Screening for Substance Abuse Among Persons with Traumatic Brain Injury | ||
Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of the current study is to assess the validity of a screening instrument widely used in addictions treatment (the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory or "SASSI-3" ), when applied to adults with recent brain injuries. Subjects: 200 persons who had cleared PTA and were receiving TBI rehabilitation; 70 subjects completed the instrument twice to assess test-retest reliability. Results: Test-retest reliability for most of the subscales was under .75, however many of the items were reliable. New subscales were devised with the reliable items; decision rules were developed and cross-validated. Conclusions: With some modifications, this instrument will likely have utility in this population; additional... more |

Using internet to enhance team functioning | ||
Abstract: Establishing a consistent and coordinated treatment approach among outpatient service providers from different agencies, with different experience and skills, is a daunting task. Barriers to efficient means of communication contribute significantly to the difficulties encountered. This project piloted the use of e-mail to allow clients, family members, providers from various sites, and case managers to communicate in a shared forum using "listserver" technology. The project evaluated (1) the feasibility of using e-mail listservers to connect clients and team members, and (2) participants' perceptions of the effect on communication and treatment coordination. Clients were found to be reluctant to participate in the project for several... more | ||

Entrance into the Workforce Following Traumatic Brain Injury | ||
Abstract: The best model for predicting vocational outcome at year 1 included premorbid employment, FIM Motor and FIM Cognitive at discharge, age, the interaction of premorbid employment*age, and education level. The goodness-of-fit test indicated that the model fit quite well. The employment*age interaction suggested that age is a factor for individuals who were not employed pre-injury, with younger individuals being more likely to enter the workforce post-injury. Age is not a factor if the individual was premorbidly employed. Similar results were found with Year 2, however FIM Cognitive was no longer found to be a significant contributor to the model. At Year 3, the best predictive model was composed of premorbid employment and FIM Motor. ... more | ||

The Cost Effectiveness of Alternate Pharmacologic Interventions for Severe Agitation | ||
Abstract: The treatment of agitation during acute hospitalization is challenging. Behavior must be controlled sufficiently to ensure safety and physiologic stability, while side effects of the pharmacologic regimen need to be minimized. Neuroleptics (e.g. haloperidol) are commonly chosen due to their relatively quick therapeutic onset, but in addition to a multitude of potential side effects, there is some concern about potential long-term effects on recovery. Other choices available, such as benzodiazepines (e.g. lorazepam, alprazolam) and narcotics (e.g. morphine, oxycodone), also have the potential for significant side effects. This naturalistic study has been designed to provide preliminary indications of the costs and benefits of... more |

Blame Attribution in Violent and Non-Violent TBI: Effects on Psychosocial Adjustment | ||
Abstract: Violence is a significant cause of TBI, especially in urban areas. In other populations, violence-related injury has been studied with respect to blame attribution. Previous work suggests that self-blame may be associated with better coping and more favorable outcome compared to blame of other persons. Those with TBI due to violence may therefore be at risk for worse psychological outcomes. In this project we are measuring blame attribution in the acute stages of both violent and non-violent injury and again at 1-year follow-up, along with outcome assessment, to determine the effects of blame attribution on psychosocial outcome. In the first phase of the study we demonstrated that blame attribution is reliable and valid in persons with... more | ||

Illicit Drug Use Over Time Following Traumatic Brain Injury | ||
Abstract: Reported drug use at Years 1 and 2 following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is 6 to 8%, compared to 29% premorbidly. How drug use responses change over time in the same group is not known. This study investigates patterns of reported drug use and follow-up for individuals with TBI who received inpatient rehabilitation, and who were questioned annually about illicit drug use. The TBI Model System Database (n=1160) was used to perform a cross-sectional analysis on all successfully contacted and screened over a 10 year period. Responses to drug use at Year 1 were 37 yes, and 333 no, with no significant difference in yes/no responses across the years. However, analysis of the positive responses revealed those reporting drug use in Year 1 had... more | ||

Characterizing and testing the relative efficacy of vocational rehabilitation interventions after TBI - Phase 1: Characterizing and measuring variations in vocational treatments across the TBIMS | ||
Abstract: The ability to work is important to many persons with TBI for maximizing financial independence, achieving social re-integration and maintaining quality of life. Vocational re-entry is frequently addressed in post-acute rehabilitation of TBI, but employment remains a goal that is difficult to attain. We need ways of evaluating what the most critical elements of the treatment are, or at what intensity or duration they must be delivered. The objectives of Phase 1 are: (1) to develop definitions for content and process parameters for characterizing specific vocational interventions for TBI; (2) to use these definitions to survey the types and variations in vocational services across the TBIMS; (3) to develop testable hypotheses about... more | ||

A Prospective Observational Study of Screening and Prophylaxis for Deep Vein Thrombosis in Survivors of Traumatic Brain Injury During Inpatient Rehabilitation | ||
Abstract: During the period of acute rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury (TBI), the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant complication that increases morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the most ominous, and frequently life-threatening, complications that occur during TBI rehabilitation. TBI patients often sustain concomitant multiple trauma and have cumulative risk factors for DVT. Because these TBI patients are usually maintained at bed rest during their acute hospitalization, they are at increased risk for existing DVT to embolize when they enter the rehabilitation setting and resume mobility. Prior to initiating this study, a practice survey was distributed to the 16 rehabilitation centers of... more | ||
