The current study examined the role of factors identified by the World Health Organization's Task Force on Mild Traumatic Brain Injury as being associated with poor outcome after mild traumatic brain injury. Employing symptom severity ratings at 3 months post-injury greater than "mild," subgroups of Higher-Severity (20%) and Lower-Severity (80%) participants were identified. Findings revealed that individuals who report greater symptom complaints at 3 months post-MTBI may be identifiable soon after injury on the basis of the magnitude and severity of early self-reported symptoms, pre-morbid psychological issues, and involvement in compensation-seeking. Injury severity factors did not differ between the groups.
本研究考察了世界卫生组织轻度创伤性脑损伤特别工作组所确定的、与轻度创伤性脑损伤后不良预后相关的因素的作用。利用伤后3个月时症状严重程度评级大于“轻度”的标准，确定了高严重程度（20%）和低严重程度（80%）参与者亚组。研究结果显示，在轻度创伤性脑损伤后3个月报告有更多症状主诉的个体，可能在受伤后不久就可以根据早期自我报告症状的程度和严重程度、病前心理问题以及寻求赔偿的情况来识别。两组之间的损伤严重程度因素没有差异。
