The WF Caveness Vietnam Head Injury Study includes over a thousand men who survived penetrating head injuries during the Vietnam War and on whom detailed medical and follow-up data are available. This population offers unique opportunities for the study of recovery from brain injury and of brain structure-function relationships. The authors briefly review long-term outcome in this cohort with respect to traumatic unconsciousness, post-traumatic epilepsy, and elements of psychologic and psychosocial function, including returning to work.
“世界神经外科联合会(WF)越南颅脑损伤研究”涵盖了一千多名在越战期间头部遭受穿透性损伤后存活下来的男性,并且有关于他们的详细医学及随访数据。这一人群为研究脑损伤恢复情况以及脑结构与功能的关系提供了独特的机会。作者简要回顾了该队列在创伤性昏迷、创伤后癫痫以及心理和社会心理功能(包括重返工作岗位)等方面的长期预后情况。
