Estimation of non-monotonic transition rates in a semi-Markov process with covariates adjustments and application to caregivers' stress data.

With the large ongoing number of aged people and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients worldwide, unpaid caregivers have become the primary sources of their daily caregiving. Alzheimer's family caregivers often suffer from physical and mental morbidities owing to various reasons. The aims of this paper were to develop alternate methods to understand the transition properties, the dynamic change, and the long-run behavior of AD caregivers' stress levels, by assuming their transition to the next level only depends on the duration of the current stress level.

Predictors of Missed Follow-up Visits in the National Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems Cohort Study.

Objective: To identify key variables that could predict risk of loss to follow-up (LTFU) in a nationally funded longitudinal database of persons with traumatic brain injury.

Relationships of self-awareness and facial affect recognition to social communication ability in persons with traumatic brain injury.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause changes to the injured person's physical ability, cognitive functioning, and social interactions. Since these attributes largely determine a person's concept of who they are, TBI poses a threat to sense of self. Due to the importance of social communication skills for community integration, impairment of these skills is a particular threat to sense of self.

Understanding loss to follow-up in a longitudinal study of people with traumatic brain injury.

Objective: To examine factors related to attrition in a traumatic brain injury (TBI) study sample assessed up to 15 years after injury.

Participants: One thousand twenty-eight participants with TBI who completed the year 1 follow-up assessment at a TBI Model Systems Center between 1992 and 2018.

Method: Secondary analysis of data from a prospective longitudinal cohort study considering follow-up data collection completion status at years 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15.

Patterns of Cognitive Test Scores and Symptom Complaints in Persons with TBI Who Failed Performance Validity Testing.

Objective: To determine clinically meaningful subgroups of persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who have failed performance validity testing.

Method: Study participants were selected from a cohort of 674 participants with definitive medical evidence of TBI. Participants were those who failed performance validity testing (the Word Memory Test, using the standard cutoffs).

A randomized controlled trial of acceptance and commitment therapy for psychological distress among persons with traumatic brain injury.

Psychological distress is common in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) but treatments remain underdeveloped. This randomized controlled trial of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was designed to address this gap. Ninety-three persons with medically-documented complicated mild to severe TBI, normal-to-mildly impaired memory, and clinically significant psychological distress in the chronic phase of recovery were randomized to receive eight weeks of ACT (manualized with adaptations to address TBI-related cognitive impairments) or a single session of needs assessment, brief counseling/education, and referral.

The Discrepancy Between Cognitive Complaints and Neuropsychological Test Findings in Persons With Traumatic Brain Injury.

Objective: To better identify variables related to discrepancies between subjective cognitive complaints and objective neuropsychological findings in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Setting: Three rehabilitation centers in the United States.

Participants: In total, 504 community-dwelling adult survivors of TBI following discharge from inpatient rehabilitation.

The relationship between resilience, emotional distress, and community participation outcomes following traumatic brain injury.

: To determine how resilience is associated with social participation outcomes in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI), in the context of emotional distress, demographics, and injury-related factors.: Individuals with a history of TBI recruited the following stay at three rehabilitation facilities in the USA.: 201 community-dwelling persons with medically documented TBI ranging in severity from mild to severe.

Comparison of the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory and the Rivermead Postconcussion Symptoms Questionnaire.

This study sought to determine the similarity of constructs measured by the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI) and Rivermead Postconcussive Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ) and the potential for interchangeability of scores from the two scales. Three acute inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the USA. 497 community dwelling persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who completed the NSI and the RPQ during the same assessment.

Rasch Analysis of Postconcussive Symptoms: Development of Crosswalks and the Brain Injury Symptom Scale.

Objective: The first aim of this study was to develop a Rasch-based crosswalk between 2 postconcussive symptom measures, the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI) and the Rivermead Postconcussive Symptom Questionnaire (RPQ). The second goal was to utilize Rasch analysis to formulate a new proposed scale containing the best theoretical and psychometric items.

Design: Prospective cohort observational study.

Gender differences in employment and economic quality of life following traumatic brain injury.

Objective: Due to limited systematic research on gender differences in health and quality of life outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI), the present study sought to contribute to the growing literature on gender differences in postinjury employment while also adding an examination of postinjury economic quality of life, an emerging area in disability research.

Method: Independent variables included demographic and injury characteristics. Outcome variables included postinjury employment and economic quality of life, measured by the Participation Assessment With Recombined Tools-Objective and the Economic QOL, respectively.

Agreement between self-/home-measured and assessor-measured waist circumference at three sites in adolescents/children.

The objective of this study was to assess the validity of the self-/home-measured waist circumference (WC) method in children/adolescents at three sites: at the level of the umbilicus, immediately above the iliac crest, and at the midpoint of the lower margin of the last palpable rib and top of the iliac crest.
