The dimensionality of depression and anxiety instruments have recently been a source controversy.In European-wide sample patients after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), we aim to examine the factorial structure, validity, association Patient Health Questionnaire for (PHQ-9) Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) instruments. This study is based on longitudinal observational data. We conducted analyses structure discriminant validity outcomes six-months TBI. also examined prevalence,...
Men and women differ in outcomes following mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). In the CENTER-TBI study, we previously found that had worse 6-month functional outcome (Glasgow Outcome Score Extended (GOSE)), health-related quality of life (HRQoL), mental health TBI. The aim this study was to investigate whether those differences were mediated by psychiatric history, gender- related sociodemographic variables, or care pathways. We analyzed sex/gender GOSE, generic TBI-specific HRQoL,...
The incidence of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is increasingly common in older adults aged ≥65 years, forming a growing public health problem. However, are underrepresented TBI research. Therefore, we aimed to provide an overview health-care utilization, and six-month outcomes after their determinants who sustained TBI.We used data from the prospective multi-center Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research (CENTER-TBI) study. In-hospital post-hospital care utilization were...
The objective of this study was to provide a comprehensive examination the relation complicated and uncomplicated mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) with multidimensional outcomes at three- six-months after TBI. We analyzed data from Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research (CENTER-TBI) research project. Patients mTBI (Glasgow Coma scale (GCS) score 13-15) enrolled in were differentiated into two groups based on computed tomography (CT) findings: (presence any intracranial...
Abstract In psychology, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is the method of choice for two‐group classification tasks based on questionnaire data. this study, we present a comparison LDA with several supervised learning algorithms. particular, examine to what extent predictive performance relies multivariate normality assumption. As nonparametric alternatives, support vector machine (SVM), and regression tree (CART), random forest (RF), probabilistic neural network (PNN), ensemble k...
The subjective impact of the consequences pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) on different life dimensions should be assessed multidimensionally and as sensitively possible using a disease-specific health-related quality (HRQoL) instrument. development psychometrics first such self-report questionnaire for children adolescents after TBI are reported here. Focus group interviews with children, adolescents, their parents, cognitive debriefing, item pool generation reduction Delphi expert...
Until recently, no disease-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire existed for pediatric traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). In this revalidation study, the psychometric properties and validity 35-item QOLIBRI-KID/ADO in its final German version were examined 300 children adolescents. It is first self-reported TBI-specific tool measuring HRQoL individuals aged between 8 17 years. The six-factor model fits data adequately. questionnaire's internal consistency was excellent...
Patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are at risk for post-concussion (PC) symptoms and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The co-occurrence of PC PTSD after mTBI in relation to health-related quality life (HRQoL), health care utilization, return work has not yet been investigated. were measured six months post-TBI by respectively the Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ) Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist DSM-5 (PCL-5). Of 1566 individuals who met...
After mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), a substantial proportion of individuals do not fully recover on the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE) or experience persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS). We aimed to develop prognostic models for GOSE and PPCS at 6 months after mTBI assess value different categories predictors (clinical variables; questionnaires; computed tomography [CT]; blood biomarkers). From Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain...
Assessing outcomes in multinational studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses major challenges and requires relevant instruments languages other than English. Of the 19 outcome selected for use observational Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research TBI (CENTER-TBI) study, 17 measures lacked translations at least one target language. To fill this gap, we aimed to develop well-translated linguistically psychometrically validated instruments. We performed linguistic...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may lead to impairments in various outcome domains. Since most instruments assessing these are only available a limited number of languages, psychometrically validated translations important for research and clinical practice. Thus, our aim was investigate the psychometric properties patient-reported measures (PROM) applied CENTER-TBI study. The study sample comprised individuals who filled six-months assessments (GAD-7, PHQ-9, PCL-5, RPQ, QOLIBRI/-OS,...
Depression and anxiety are common following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Understanding their prevalence interplay within the first year after TBI with differing severities may improve patients' outcomes TBI. Individuals a clinical diagnosis of recruited for large European collaborative longitudinal study CENTER-TBI were screened patient-reported major depression (MD) generalized disorder (GAD) at three, six, twelve months post-injury (N = 1683). Data analyzed using autoregressive...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of the leading causes death and disability worldwide. To better understand its impact on various outcome domains, this study pursues following: (1) longitudinal assessments at three, six, twelve months post-injury; (2) an evaluation sociodemographic, premorbid, injury-related factors, functional recovery contributing to worsening or improving outcomes after TBI. Using patient-reported measures, recuperation trends TBI were identified by applying...
Headache is one of the most common post-concussion symptoms following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). To better understand its impact on young individuals, this study aims to investigate prevalence headache in a German-speaking post-acute TBI sample and compare it with general population. In addition, factors associated development post-TBI are investigated improve understanding condition. A (3 months up 10 years post-injury) comprising N = 463 children adolescents aged 8 17 from...
