Comparative Study
Outcome and predictors of functional recovery 5 years following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The aim was to examine functional outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI) during early childhood, to investigate impairments up to 5 years postinjury and identify predictors of outcome. ⋯ Children who sustain a severe TBI in early childhood are at greatest risk of long-term impairment in day-to-day skills in the long-term postinjury.
