Résumé Chaque année, 150 000 nouveaux cas de traumatismes cranio-cérébraux (TCC) sont recensés en France. Les TCC représentent une cause majeure de handicap chez les sujets jeunes. De nombreuses études se sont intéressées aux conséquences d'un TCC durant les premiers mois, en mettant en évidence des difficultés somatiques et cognitivo-comportementales qui impactent la vie sociale, affective et professionnelle des personnes victimes.

Is Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) adequate to measure brain injury related fatigue?

Background: Fatigue is a common symptom in patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) related disability while its multidimensionality has never been investigated, and specifically its relationship with patients' cognitive functioning.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the validity of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) in patients living with ABI-related disability.

Methods: Four hundred twenty-six participants divided in three different groups (ABI-related disability, physical-related disability without an ABI, and healthy volunteers with no disability) were administered the French version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory.

The relationship between cognition and vocational training outcome in patients with acquired brain injury: Contribution of Machine Learning.

The aim of this study was to identify specific cognitive patterns related to long-term vocational training outcome. Records of twenty-eight patients who had benefited from a professional rehabilitation program were retrospectively processed. Screening through machine learning algorithms of patients' neuropsychological scores identified cognitive patterns related to both vocational training outcomes: succeeded or failed.

Impact of cognitive and behavioural functioning on vocational outcome following traumatic brain injury: a systematic review.

Purpose: Individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often present injury-related cognitive and behavioural sequelae hindering a successful professional outcome, even many years after injury. The aim of this study was to investigate cognitive and behavioural factors predicting vocational outcome in the post-acute stages (≥one year) of TBI.

Methods: A systematic review of empirical research about vocational outcome of individuals with TBI was conducted.

Why evaluate one-week-delayed verbal recall in patients with severe traumatic brain injury?

Primary Objective: The aim of this study was to propose new measures to evaluate memory processes in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). In this purpose, we analyzed learning and consolidation processes depending on own patient's performance during a memory test.

Methods: One-week Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test - word version (1W-FCSRT-word), which special feature relies on a 30-min and a 1-week-delayed recall after encoding, was administered to a group of 43 patients with severe TBI (age range from 20 to 54 years) and a group of neurologically healthy volunteers matched for age and gender.

Extension to one week of verbal memory consolidation assessment.

Objective: Although impairments of long-term recall affect everyday life, they may be missed by standard delayed recall tests, which typically assess the ability to retain new information within a few minutes, without encompassing the consolidation process. We adapted a verbal memory test to evaluate long-term memory consolidation in healthy volunteers.

Method: A sample of 238 participants (M = 42.
