Few studies have examined clinical correlates of aggression after first-time traumatic brain injury (TBI) within the first year after injury. The authors aimed to identify the rates of aggression at 6 and 12 months post-TBI and establish clinical and demographic correlates. A total of 103 subjects with first-time TBI were seen within 12 months postinjury and evaluated for aggression. Post-TBI social functioning and new-onset depression (within 3 months of the TBI) may serve as particularly important predictors for aggression within the first year of TBI, as these factors may afford intervention and subsequent decreased risk of aggression.
很少有研究在首次创伤性脑损伤(TBI)后的第一年里,对其临床相关的攻击行为进行考察。作者旨在确定创伤性脑损伤后6个月和12个月时的攻击行为发生率,并确定其临床和人口统计学相关因素。共有103名首次发生创伤性脑损伤的受试者在受伤后12个月内接受了检查,并对其攻击行为进行了评估。创伤性脑损伤后的社会功能和新发抑郁症(在创伤性脑损伤后的3个月内)可能是创伤性脑损伤后第一年攻击行为的特别重要的预测因素,因为这些因素可能提供干预措施,并随后降低攻击行为的风险。
