Rates and Predictors of Suicidal Ideation During the First Year After Traumatic Brain Injury
Objectives. We examined rates of suicidal ideation (SI) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and investigated whether demographic characteristics, preinjury psychiatric history, or injury-related factors predicted SI during the first year after injury. Methods. We followed a cohort of 559 adult patients who were admitted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, with a complicated mild to severe TBI between June 2001 and March 2005. Part…
Incidence of Disability Among Children 12 Months After Traumatic Brain Injury
Objectives. We examined the burden of disability resulting from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) among children younger than 18 years. Methods. We derived our data from a cohort study of children residing in King County, Washington, who were treated in an emergency department for a TBI or for an arm injury during 2007–2008. Disabilities 12 months after injury were assessed according to need for specialized educational and community-based services …
General Versus Disease-Specific Measures
Three modifications devised to make the Sickness Impact Profile more sensitive to head injury are evaluated in 202 head-injured and 132 general trauma patients 1 month and 12 months after injury. The modifications consist of adding items, deleting nonapplicable items, and reweighting areas of function. Each of the modifications, and especially all three combined, slightly but significantly improve discrimination of head-injured and comparison sub…
The Seattle evaluation of computerized drug profiles
Since 1979, all outpatient pharmacy transactions at the US Public Health Service Hospital in Seattle have been captured in a computer system which generates a profile of each patient's active and previously used drugs. We conducted a controlled trial in which patients were allocated to profile or no-profile groups while the computer continued to collect data on everyone. In all, 41,572 clinic visits made by 6,186 patients were studied. The incide…
