Employment stability in the first 5 years after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Aug 01, 2018
DiSanto D, et al. - Using data at years 1, 2, and 5 post-traumatic brain injury (TBI), a longitudinal observational study of an inception cohort from the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems National Database was conducted to describe employment stability and determine predictive factors of employment stability in working-age individuals following moderate to severe TBI that might be clinically addressed. Researchers reported that employment stability serves as an important measure of productivity post-TBI. They found that younger age, white race, less severe injuries, pre-injury employment, higher annual earnings, male sex, higher education, transportation independence post-injury, and no anxiety or depression forecasts employment stability post-TBI. Findings revealed that notable predictors include transportation independence and also the presence of anxiety and depression at 1-year post-TBI as potentially modifiable intervention targets.
