Preinjury Health Status of Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Preliminary Matched Case-Control Study

Conclusion: These preliminary findings suggest that the odds of depression in the year prior to index injury far exceed those reported in matched controls. Further study in larger samples is required to better understand the relative odds of prior health problems in those who sustain a TBI, with a goal of elucidating the implications of preinjury health on post-TBI disease burden.
