Posttraumatic brain injury patients with depressive symptoms were compared with nondepressed mild and moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients based on their scores on the Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPCSQ). A factor analysis demonstrated that the items of the RPCSQ loaded into three factors: mood and cognition, general somatic, and visual somatic symptom groups. Factor scores based on this model were calculated for each group and it was found that depressed subjects reported a greater severity of all three symptom groups compared to nondepressed patients. These results suggest that depression post-TBI may influence patient perception of postconcussion symptoms.
创伤性脑损伤后抑郁症状患者与非抑郁轻度和中度创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 患者进行了比较，比较依据是他们在 Rivermead 脑震荡后症状问卷 (RPCSQ) 上的得分。一项因子分析表明，RPCSQ 的项目分为三个因子：情绪和认知、一般躯体和视觉躯体症状群。根据该模型计算了每个组的因子得分，结果发现抑郁组报告的所有三个症状群的严重程度均高于非抑郁组。这些结果表明，创伤性脑损伤后抑郁可能会影响患者对脑震荡后症状的感知。
