Functional recovery of working-age patients with traumatic brain injury stratified in 30-day periods since head trauma to rehabilitation admission

We stratified 213 patients with traumatic brain injury according to their time to rehabilitation admission in three groups (0–30 days, 31–60 and 61–90) in order to (1) compare total Functional Independence Measure efficiency and effectiveness between groups; (2) analyze time to admission as predictor of TFIM at discharge. After adjusting for age, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Disability Rating Scale (DRS) and sex, 0–30 had the highest TFIM efficiency compared with 31–60 (P
