MedPage Today (2/18, George) reported, “Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) affected cognition 1 year later, data from the prospective TRACK-TBI study showed.” Investigators found that “at 1 year, 13.5% of people with mild TBI had a poor cognitive outcome compared with 4.5% of controls.” The data indicated that “poor 1-year cognitive outcomes were associated with non-white race, lower education, lower income, lack of health insurance, hyperglycemia, pre-injury depression, and greater injury severity in univariate analysis.” The findings were published in Neurology.
