Long-Term Follow-Up of Critically Ill Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury: From Intensive Care Parameters to Patient and Caregiver-Reported Outcome.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with a high social and financial burden due to persisting (severe) disabilities. The consequences of TBI after intensive care unit (ICU) admission are generally measured with global disability screeners such as the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE), which may lack precision. To improve outcome measurement after brain injury, a comprehensive clinical outcome assessment tool called the Minimal Dataset for Acquired Brain Injury (MDS-ABI) was recently developed.
