N2  - BACKGROUND: Individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) often  have prolonged cognitive impairments, resulting in long-term problems with their  real-life activities. Given the urgent need for evidence-based recommendations for  neuropsychological management of Iranian TBI patients, the current work aimed to  adapt eligible international guidelines for cognitive assessment and rehabilitation  of the TBI patients in Iran. <br><br>METHODS: The project was led by an executive committee,  under the supervision of the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education  (MOHME). Following a systematic literature search and selection process, four  guidelines were included for adaptation. Clinical recommendations of the source  guidelines were tabulated as possible clinical scenarios for 90 PICO clinical  questions covering all relevant phases of care. After summing up the scenarios, our  initial list of recommendations was drafted according to the Iranian patients'  conditions. The final decision-making, with the contribution of a national  interdisciplinary panel of 37 experts from across the country, was conducted in two  rounds using online and offline survey forms (Round 1), and face-to-face and  telephone meetings (Round 2). <br><br>RESULTS: A total of 63 recommendations in six sections  were included in the final list of recommendations, among which 24 were considered  as key recommendations. In addition, some of the recommendations were identified as  fundamental, meaning that proper implementation of the other recommendations is  largely dependent on their implementation. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Iranian health policy makers  and rehabilitation program managers are recommended to address some fundamental  issues to provide the necessary infrastructure to set up an efficient cognitive  rehabilitation service system.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
