Bladder and Bowel Incontinence after Traumatic Brain Injury: Risk Factors, Prevalence, and Outcome
Abstract: A multicenter study was conducted, reviewing the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of patients with bladder (BdI) and bowel (Bol) incontinence after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Subjects were 587 patients for whom follow-up data at one-year postinjury were available. 77% of patients were incontinent at rehabilitation admission (Bdl 77.3%, Bol 76.7%). The prevalence of incontinence improves to approximately 20% (Bdl 20.3%, Bol 19.2%) by rehabilitation discharge, and 7% (Bdl 7.8%, Bol 6.3%) by one year post-injury. Continent patients were significantly more likely to be living at home at rehabilitation discharge (OR=3.2; [1.8, 5.3]) and at one year post-injury (OR=7.7; [3.9, 15.3])... more

Early Cognitive Status and Productivity Outcome Following Traumatic Brain
Abstract: To evaluate the contribution of early cognitive assessment to prediction of productivity outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) adjusted for severity of injury, demographic factors, and pre-injury employment status. Design: Inception cohort. Setting: Six inpatient brain injury rehabilitation programs. Participants: 388 adults with TBI whose post-traumatic amnesia resolved prior to discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. Results: Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that pre-injury productivity status, duration of post-traumatic amnesia, education level, and early cognitive status each made significant, independent contributions to prediction of productivity status at follow-up. Conclusions: Findings support the... more
