Fatigue is a well-recognized issue for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). This prospective study examined the rate and types of fatigue that are experienced by a cohort of individuals with TBI within the first 2 years, using a multidimensional fatigue scale. The impact of factors such as demographics, injury severity indices, and concomitant psychosocial variables was also examined. Using 2 measures of overall fatigue, 16%-32% at Year 1 and 21%-34% at Year 2 reported significant levels of fatigue. Fatigue did not appear to change between 1 and 2 years post-TBI. Sleep quality was the most prevalent concomitant disturbance followed by depression and pain.
疲劳是创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者公认的一个问题。这项前瞻性研究使用多维疲劳量表，对一组TBI患者在头两年内经历的疲劳发生率和类型进行了检查。还研究了人口统计学、损伤严重程度指数和伴随的心理社会变量等因素的影响。使用两种总体疲劳测量方法，第1年有16%-32%的患者报告有显著的疲劳水平，第2年为21%-34%。TBI后1至2年疲劳似乎没有变化。睡眠质量是最常见的伴随障碍，其次是抑郁和疼痛。
