TL;DR
A predictive model of the incidence of long-term disability following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is developed and validated and the need for comprehensive rehabilitative care and services to maximize the potential of persons with TBI is validated.
Abstract
TBI-related disability is a significant public health problem in the United States. The substantial incidence suggests the need for comprehensive rehabilitative care and services to maximize the potential of persons with TBI.
