研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to improve the diagnosis and prediction of recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in adults age 65 years and older. The study will follow older adults who present to the emergency department after TBI, as well as matched control participants, and will measure clinical features, brain imaging, and blood-based biomarkers over 12 months to understand how recovery changes over time. Researchers will examine how pre-injury health, brain structure, and biological markers are related to disability and cognitive outcomes after TBI. Information from this study will be used to develop age-appropriate tools to better diagnose TBI and estimate long-term outcomes in older adults.

结局指标
主要结局
Functional Outcome at 6 Months Post-Injury as Assessed by the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE)
时间窗: 6 months post-injury
Functional outcome after traumatic brain injury will be measured using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE). The score ranges from 1-8, with higher scores indicating better recovery. The primary outcome is GOSE assessed at 6 months post-injury.
