abstract="OBJECTIVE: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) clinical practice guidelines are a potential solution to rapidly expanding literature. The project objective was to convene experts to develop a unique set of TBI rehabilitation recommendations incorporating users' priorities for format and implementation tools including indicators of adherence. <br><br>METHODS: The Guidelines Adaptation & Development Cycle informed recommendation development. Published TBI recommendations were identified and tabulated. Experts convened to adapt or, where appropriate, develop new evidence-based recommendations. These draft recommendations were validated by systematically reviewing relevant literature. Surveys of experts and target users were triangulated with strength of evidence to identify priority topics. <br><br>RESULTS: The final recommendation set included a rationale, implementation tools (algorithms/adherence indicators), key process indicators, and evidence summaries, and were divided in 2 sections: Section I: Components of the Optimal TBI Rehabilitation System (71 recommendations) and Section II: Assessment and Rehabilitation of Brain Injury Sequelae (195 recommendations). The recommendations address top priorities for the TBI rehabilitation system: (1) intensity/frequency of interventions; (2) rehabilitation models; (3) duration of interventions; and (4) continuity-of-care mechanisms. Key sequelae addressed (1) behavioral disorders; (2) cognitive dysfunction; (3) fatigue and sleep disturbances; and (4) mental health. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This TBI rehabilitation guideline used a robust development process to address users' priorities.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
