To assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Barranquilla, Colombia.

The samples were statistically similar with respect to age, gender and education and statistically different with respect to depression, SES, social support and cognition. Compared to healthy controls, individuals with TBI had significantly lower means on all SF-36 sub-scales. However, after adjusting for depression, SES, social support and cognitive performance, significant differences remained on three of the SF-36 sub-scales. Specifically, individuals with TBI had lower adjusted means on Role-Physical (p-value < 0.005), Role-Emotional (p-value < 0.005) and Bodily Pain (p-value < 0.05). Even after controlling for depression, SES, social support and cognitive performance, individuals with TBI living in Barranquilla Colombia report having poorer quality of life across various do...Continue Reading
