Background: The association between paediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) and post-traumatic attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication usage remains understudied subject.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the association between pTBI and subsequent ADHD medication.
Methods: A nationwide retrospective cohort study in Finland from 1998 to 2018 included 66 594 patients with pTBI and 61 412 references with distal extremity fractures.
Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause neuronal damage and cerebrovascular dysfunction, leading to acute brain dysfunction and considerable physical and mental impairment long after initial injury. Our goal was to assess the impact of pediatric TBI (pTBI) on military service, completed by 65-70% of men in Finland.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective register-based nationwide cohort study.
Objective: Examine the link between pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) and early-onset multiple sclerosis in Finland.
Methods: Conducted nationwide register study (1998-2018) with 28,750 pTBI patients (< 18) and 38,399 pediatric references with extremity fractures. Multiple sclerosis diagnoses from Finnish Social Insurance Institution.
Objective: This study was undertaken to examine how pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) correlates with incidence of epilepsy at later ages in Finland.
Methods: This nationwide retrospective register-based cohort study extended from 1998 to 2018. The study group consisted of 71 969 pediatric (<18 years old) patients hospitalized with TBI and a control group consisting of 64 856 pediatric patients with distal extremity fracture.
