Abstract

We studied influence of age and educational level before injury on the social and vocational outcome among a group of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients with post-injury problems in their education and employment. Patients with TBI, followed up for at least 5 years, and who were admitted to a rehabilitation and re-employment programme, were selected for evaluation of long-term outcome. We used the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores at the time of emergency admission to the hospital to measure brain injury severity. Age at the time of TBI and educational status before TBI were correlated with the outcome measures at the end of follow-up separately in each category of brain injury severity. The study was carried out at the Kauniala outpatient neurological clinic, which specializes in brain injuries in Finland; it works closely with the Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the Helsinki University Central Hospital. Main outcome measures were functional outcome measured by the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), the educational level reached, and post-injury occupation, as well as the incapacity for work at the end of follow-up. In the severe category of brain injuries, children 7 years or younger at the time of injury suffered sev...Continue Reading
