The present study sought to determine whether cognitive outcome and course of recovery in civilian penetrating brain injury due to gunshot can be distinguished from that of non-penetrating brain injury due to motor vehicle accident. Matched survivors of penetrating and non-penetrating brain injury were assessed with a brief neuropsychological test battery at inpatient rehabilitation, 1 year post-injury, and 2 years post-injury. The traumatic brain injury groups were found to have patterns of performance marked by reliably distinct differences in isolated areas, with different cognitive predictors of brain injury type present in early versus later recovery. The degree of recovery over the first 2 years appeared to be quite similar for penetrating and non-penetrating injuries.
本研究旨在确定民用穿透性脑损伤（由枪击导致）和非穿透性脑损伤（由交通事故导致）的认知结果和恢复过程是否可以区分。对穿透性和非穿透性脑损伤的匹配幸存者在住院康复期间、受伤后 1 年和 2 年进行了简短的神经心理学测试组合评估。研究发现，创伤性脑损伤组的表现模式具有明显的孤立区域差异，在早期和后期恢复中存在不同的脑损伤类型的认知预测因子。在最初的 2 年内，穿透性和非穿透性损伤的恢复程度似乎非常相似。
