abstract="There are limited prognostic tools to guide clinicians in acute risk-stratification of adult mild TBI patients (mTBI). While the majority of mTBI patients achieve full recovery within 7-14 days, approximately 25-30% remain symptomatic for 3 or more months post-injury.(1;2) Early identification of the subset of mTBI patients at high risk for protracted recovery will: (a) facilitate administering the right discharge instructions and sub-specialty referral to the right at-risk mTBI patients; (b) enable individualized education of patients regarding their expected course of recovery; (c) allow targeted administration of cognitive and behavioral therapy that has been found to be efficacious when implemented during the acute phase of injury; (3,4,5) and (d) enable enrichment of study populations of mTBI clinical trials with patients who are at-risk for protracted recovery and therefore decrease the sample size required for demonstrating therapeutic efficacy.
