Postdecisional Processing Delays in Metacognitive Monitoring After Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusions: Adults with TBI engage in different postdecisional processes to make metacognitive judgments compared with healthy controls. Findings suggest that reaction times may be an important dimension of metacognition to assess clinically after TBI. (Source: The Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation)

Self- and Parent-Reported Fatigue 7 Years After Severe Childhood Traumatic Brain Injury: Results of the Traumatisme Grave de l'Enfant Prospective Longitudinal Study
Conclusion: High levels of fatigue were reported by 30% to 50% of patients 7 years after a severe childhood TBI. Reported fatigue explained more than 60% of the variance of reported health-related quality of life by the same informant (patient or parent). (Source: The Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation)

Activity Level During Acute Concussion May Predict Symptom Recovery Within an Active Duty Military Population
Objective: To evaluate the impact on symptom resolution of activity acutely following a concussion and the role of acute-phase symptoms on this relationship among active duty service members (SMs). Setting: Three military installations. Participants: Sixty-two SMs aged 18 to 44 years who sustained a concussion within 72 hours of enrollment. Design: Longitudinal design with data collected within 72 hours of injury (baseline, n = 62) and at 1 week (n = 57), 1 month (n = 50), 3 months (n = 41), and 6 months (n = 40) postinjury. Main Measures: Baseline activity level using a 60-item Activity Questionnaire. Sympto...

Increasing Incidence of Concussion: True Epidemic or Better Recognition?
Conclusion: The annual incidence of approximately 1.2% of the population is the highest rate of concussion ever reported thorough sampling methods and may represent a closer estimate of the true picture of concussion. Findings may inform future concussion treatment and healthcare planning. (Source: The Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation)

Characterizing Comorbid Cerebrovascular Insults Among Patients With TBI at a TBI Model Systems Rehabilitation Center
Conclusions: Using in-depth abstraction of imaging findings, the incidence of traumatic head/neck artery injuries, and CIs in patients with moderate to severe TBI were both higher than a recent TBIMS-wide study utilizing ICD coding. Cerebral infarct was associated with longer posttraumatic amnesia duration and slower functional gains. Further research is recommended on the outcome implications of concomitant cerebrovascular injury in patients with TBI. (Source: The Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation)

Lifetime History of Traumatic Brain Injury and Behavioral Health Problems in a Population-Based Sample
Conclusions: Ohioans who have sustained at least one TBI with loss of consciousness in their lifetime are at increased risk for poor behavioral health, including alcohol misuse, smoking, and depression. The findings underscore the need for community-based mental health treatment programs to screen for TBI history in their intake evaluations, and to train clinicians on the provisions of accommodations for cognitive and behavioral deficits.

Limited Prediction of Performance Validity Using Embedded Validity Scales of the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory in an mTBI Veteran Sample
Conclusion: The embedded NSI validity scales' usefulness in predicting invalid neuropsychological performance validity was limited in this sample. Continued measurement of both symptom and performance validity in clinical settings involving traumatic brain injury treatment is recommended, as the present results support the existing research suggesting symptom validity tests and performance validity tests tap into related but ultimately distinct constructs.
