TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Correlates and prevalence of aggression at six months and one year after first-time traumatic brain injury JO - Journal of neuropsychiatry and clinical neurosciences A1 - Roy, Durga A1 - Vaishnavi, Sandeep A1 - Han, Dingfen A1 - Rao, Vani SP - 334 EP - 342 VL - 29 IS - 4 N2 - Few studies have examined clinical correlates of aggression after first-time traumatic brain injury (TBI) within the first year after injury. The authors aimed to identify the rates of aggression at 6 and 12 months post-TBI and establish clinical and demographic correlates. A total of 103 subjects with first-time TBI were seen within 12 months postinjury and evaluated for aggression. Post-TBI social functioning and new-onset depression (within 3 months of the TBI) may serve as particularly important predictors for aggression within the first year of TBI, as these factors may afford intervention and subsequent decreased risk of aggression.
