N2  - PURPOSE: To describe longitudinal changes in Percentage of Consonants Correct-Revised (PCC-R) after severe pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI); to compare the odds of normal-range PCC-R in children injured at older and younger ages; and to correlate predictor variables and PCC-R outcomes. METHOD: In 56 children injured between age 1 mo and 11 yr, PCC-R was calculated over 12 monthly sessions beginning when the child produced >10 words. At each session, odds of normal-range PCC-R were compared in children injured at younger (< 60 mo) and older (> 60 mo) ages. Correlations were calculated between final PCC-R and age at injury, injury mechanism, gender, maternal education, residence, treatment, Glasgow Coma Score, and intact brain volume. RESULTS: PCC-Rs varied within and between children. Odds of normal-range PCC-R were significantly higher for the older than for the younger group at all sessions but the first; odds of normal-range PCC-R were 9-33 times higher in the older group in sessions 3-12. Age at injury was significantly correlated with final PCC-R. CONCLUSION: Over a 12-month period, severe TBI had more adverse effects for children whose ages placed them in the most intensive phase of PCC-R development than for children injured later.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
