abstract="OBJECTIVE: To obtain a comprehensive understanding of long-term outcome after severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). PARTICIPANTS: Forty-six patients with sTBI. DESIGN: Comparison of interdisciplinary evaluation results at discharge from acute care and at 2 to 5 year follow-up. MAIN MEASURES: Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale, the FIM instrument, and the Neurobehavioral Rating Scale-Revised. RESULTS: Significant improvement was observed on the FIM instrument, the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale, and on 3 factors of the Neurobehavioral Rating Scale-Revised. These measures at discharge were significant predictors of outcome. CONCLUSION: Patients with sTBI 2 to 5 years postinjury showed relatively good physical and functional outcome but poorer cognitive and emotional outcome.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
