Clinical utility of the TOMMe10 scoring criteria for detecting suboptimal effort in an mTBI veteran sample.

In the context of diminishing reimbursement and patient access demands, researchers continually refine performance validity measures (PVMs) to maximize efficiency while maintaining confidence in obtained data. This is particularly true for high PVM failure populations (e.g.

Premorbid IQ Predicts Postconcussive Symptoms in OEF/OIF/OND Veterans with mTBI.

Objective: Extant literature has demonstrated that symptoms of postconcussive syndrome (PCS) persist well beyond the expected 3-month post-injury recovery period in a minority of individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Suboptimal performance on validity measures and pre- and post-injury psychosocial stressors - rather than actual mTBI or current cognitive functioning - have been identified as predictors of chronic PCS. Whether premorbid IQ has any influence on chronic PCS has been understudied, in the context of established psychogenic etiologies.
