Abstract

To determine sex differences in extent and type of posttraumatic agitation during acute rehabilitation. This prospective, observational study was performed at a Midwest, regional, university-based acute rehabilitation center.

No difference in incidence was observed between sexes based on the criterion of agitation as three or more abnormal total Agitated Behavior Scale scores in 48 hrs (P = 0.890). Also, no difference in posttraumatic agitation between the two sexes (P = 0.396) was observed with the criterion of agitation as two or more abnormal total Agitated Behavior Scale scores in 2 days. There were no differences observed between the sexes for peak intensity and average intensity for the total score or each of the factor scores of the Agitated Behavior Scale. Posttraumatic agitation is seen in approximately 50% of patients after traumatic brain injury and usually lasts for <10 days. There are no significant sex differ...Continue Reading
