This study aimed to describe the provision of rehabilitation to patients after complicated and uncomplicated mTBI and investigate factors associated with functional outcome, symptom burden, and TBI-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) up to six months after injury.Patients (n = 1379) with mTBI from the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in TBI (CENTER-TBI) study who reported whether they received rehabilitation services during the first six months post-injury and who participated in outcome assessments were included. Functional outcome was measured with the Glasgow Outcome Scale - Extended (GOSE), symptom burden with the Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ), and HRQOL with the Quality of Life after Brain Injury - Overall Scale (QOLIBRI-OS). We examined whether transition of care (TOC) pathways, receiving rehabilitation services, sociodemographic (incl. geographic), premorbid, and injury-related factors were associated with outcomes using regression models. For easy comparison, we estimated ordinal regression models for all outcomes where the scores were classified based on quantiles.Overall, 43% of patients with complicated and 20% with uncomplicated mTBI reported receiving rehabilitation services, primarily in physical and cognitive domains. Patients with complicated mTBI had lower functional level, higher symptom burden, and lower HRQOL compared to uncomplicated mTBI. Rehabilitation services at three or six months and a higher number of TOC were associated with unfavorable outcomes in all models, in addition to pre-morbid psychiatric problems. Being male and having more than 13 years of education was associated with more favorable outcomes. Sustaining major trauma was associated with unfavorable GOSE outcome, whereas living in Southern and Eastern European regions was associated with lower HRQOL.Patients with complicated mTBI reported more unfavorable outcomes and received rehabilitation services more frequently. Receiving rehabilitation services and higher number of care transitions were indicators of injury severity and associated with unfavorable outcomes. The findings should be interpreted carefully and validated in future studies as we applied a novel analytic approach.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02210221.}, keywords = {rehabilitation; PROM; mild TBI}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1472-6963} } @article{MTMT:33710664, title = {EFFECTS OF NAVIGATED RTMS FOR THE HEMIPARETIC UPPER EXTREMITY MOTOR FUNCTION IN STROKE PATIENTS - PILOT STUDY}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33710664}, author = {Pinczker, Veronika and Makai, Alexandra and Molics, Bálint and Boncz, Imre and Tamás, Viktória and Járomi, Melinda}, journal-iso = {VALUE HEALTH}, journal = {VALUE IN HEALTH}, volume = {25}, unique-id = {33710664}, issn = {1098-3015}, keywords = {Economics; Health Care Sciences & Services}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1524-4733}, pages = {S487-S487}, orcid-numbers = {Makai, Alexandra/0000-0002-1907-120X; Boncz, Imre/0000-0003-3699-6236} } @article{MTMT:33236529, title = {Concomitant spine trauma in patients with traumatic brain injury: Patient characteristics and outcomes}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33236529}, author = {Riemann, Lennart and Alhalabi, Obada T. and Unterberg, Andreas W.

In this study, we used the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) database to assess the prevalence, characteristics, and outcomes of patients with TBI and a concurrent traumatic spinal injury (TSI). MethodsData from the European multi-center CENTER-TBI study were analyzed. Adult patients with TBI (>= 18 years) presenting with a concomitant, isolated TSI of at least serious severity (Abbreviated Injury Scale; AIS >= 3) were included. For outcome analysis, comparison groups of TBI patients with TSI and systemic injuries (non-isolated TSI) and without TSI were created using propensity score matching. Rates of mortality, unfavorable outcomes (Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended; GOSe < 5), and full recovery (GOSe 7-8) of all patients and separately for patients with only mild TBI (mTBI) were compared between groups at 6-month follow-up. ResultsA total of 164 (4%) of the 4,254 CENTER-TBI core study patients suffered from a concomitant isolated TSI. The median age was 53 [interquartile range (IQR): 37-66] years and 71% of patients were men. mTBI was documented in 62% of cases, followed by severe TBI (26%), and spine injuries were mostly cervical (63%) or thoracic (31%). Surgical spine stabilization was performed in 19% of cases and 57% of patients were admitted to the ICU. Mortality at 6 months was 11% and only 36% of patients regained full recovery. There were no significant differences in the 6-month rates of mortality, unfavorable outcomes, or full recovery between TBI patients with and without concomitant isolated TSI. However, concomitant non-isolated TSI was associated with an unfavorable outcome and a higher mortality. In patients with mTBI, a negative association with full recovery could be observed for both concomitant isolated and non-isolated TSI. ConclusionRates of mortality, unfavorable outcomes, and full recovery in TBI patients with and without concomitant, isolated TSIs were comparable after 6 months. However, in patients with mTBI, concomitant TSI was a negative predictor for a full recovery. These findings might indicate that patients with moderate to severe TBI do not necessarily exhibit worse outcomes when having a concomitant TSI, whereas patients with mTBI might be more affected.}, keywords = {traumatic brain injury; outcome; CENTER-TBI; Spine trauma; traumatic spine injury}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1664-2295}, orcid-numbers = {Younsi, Alexander/0000-0002-8218-9243; Barzó, Pál/0000-0001-8717-748X} } @article{MTMT:33195955, title = {Measurement invariance of six language versions of the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist for DSM-5 in civilians after traumatic brain injury}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33195955}, author = {Bockhop, Fabian and Zeldovich, Marina and Cunitz, Katrin and Van Praag, Dominique and van der Vlegel, Marjolein and Beissbarth, Tim and Hagmayer, York and von Steinbuechel, Nicole}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-022-20170-2}, journal-iso = {SCI REP}, journal = {SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {33195955}, issn = {2045-2322}, abstract = {Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently associated with neuropsychiatric impairments such as symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can be screened using self-report instruments such as the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5).

Data for six language groups (n ≥ 200; Dutch, English, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish) were extracted from the CENTER-TBI study database. Factorial validity of PTSD was evaluated using confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), and compared between four concurrent structural models. A multi-group CFA approach was utilized to investigate the measurement invariance (MI) of the PCL-5 across languages. All structural models showed satisfactory goodness-of-fit with small between-model variation. The original DSM-5 model for PTSD provided solid evidence of MI across the language groups. The current study underlines the validity of the clinical DSM-5 conceptualization of PTSD and demonstrates the comparability of PCL-5 symptom scores between language versions in individuals after TBI.

However, patients' perceptions of well-being can be discordant with their disability level, referred to as the 'disability paradox'. We aimed to examine the relationship between disability and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following TBI, while taking variation in personal, injury-related and environment factors into account. Methods We used data from the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury study. Disability was assessed 6 months post-injury by the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE). HRQoL was assessed by the SF-12v2 physical and mental component summary scores and the Quality of Life after Traumatic Brain Injury overall scale. We examined mean total and domain HRQoL scores by GOSE. We quantified variance in HRQoL explained by GOSE, personal, injury-related and environment factors with multivariable regression. Results Six-month outcome assessments were completed in 2075 patients, of whom 78% had mild TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale 13-15). Patients with severe disability had higher HRQoL than expected on the basis of GOSE alone, particularly after mild TBI. Up to 50% of patients with severe disability reported HRQoL scores within the normative range. GOSE, personal, injury-related and environment factors explained a limited amount of variance in HRQoL (up to 29%). Conclusion Contrary to the idea that discrepancies are unusual, many patients with poor functional outcomes reported well-being that was at or above the boundary considered satisfactory for the normative sample. These findings challenge the idea that satisfactory HRQoL in patients with disability should be described as 'paradoxical' and question common views of what constitutes 'unfavourable' outcome.}, keywords = {Quality of Life; traumatic brain injury; neuropsychology}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1468-330X}, pages = {785-796}, orcid-numbers = {Barzó, Pál/0000-0001-8717-748X} } @article{MTMT:33016757, title = {Tailoring Multi-Dimensional Outcomes to Level of Functional Recovery after Traumatic Brain Injury}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33016757}, author = {Wilson, Lindsay and Horton, Lindsay and Polinder, Suzanne and Newcombe, Virginia F.
