Impact of dementia and socioeconomic disadvantage on days at home after traumatic brain injury among older Medicare beneficiaries: A cohort study.

Introduction: Time spent at home may aid in understanding recovery following traumatic brain injury (TBI) among older adults, including those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). We examined the impact of ADRD on recovery following TBI and determined whether socioeconomic disadvantages moderated the impact of ADRD.

Methods: We analyzed Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥65 years diagnosed with TBI in 2010-2018.
