Primary Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore how 'quality' is understood for traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation from the perspectives of the rehabilitation recipients, their families and the providing clinicians.
Research Design: A participatory study using a mixed-methods, triangulation design.
Methods: The study involved 1. a systematic literature search; 2. Individual semi-structured interviews with people with TBI and/or their caregivers and TBI rehabilitation clinicians, and 3. an online consensus process.
Outcomes And Results: 22 participants (7 people with TBI, 8 caregivers, 7 clinicians) participated in individual interviews. Their transcribed data were coded into broad categories via in-depth reflexive, thematic analysis; these categories were then mapped to 13 quality domains extracted from the literature. The emergent themes were then presented to the individuals, via an electronic consensus tool in two rounds. This resulted in 12 prioritized domains of quality that encompass service features, staff qualities and effectiveness.
Conclusion: These evidence-informed and consensus-agreed indicators for quality may help guide both the provision and evaluation of TBI rehabilitation, that is valued and meaningful.

Objective: To determine whether there are differences in healthcare utilization for chronic pain based on location (rural vs urban/suburban) or healthcare system (civilians vs Military Service Members and Veterans [SMVs]) after moderate-severe TBI.
Setting: Eighteen Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) Centers.
Participants: A total of 1,741 TBIMS participants 1 to 30 years post-injury reporting chronic pain at their most recent follow-up interview.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to external forces is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among people of all age groups, worldwide. Multiple biological processes like neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, amyloid β (Aβ) production, and tau hyperphosphorylation are involved in the pathogenesis of TBI. The role of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress has been suggested in the pathophysiology of brain injury-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Background: Neurocognitive health is influenced by multiple modifiable and non-modifiable lifestyle factors. Machine learning tools offer a promising approach to better understand complex models of cognitive function. We used extreme gradient boosting (XG Boost), an algorithm of decision-tree modeling, to analyze the association between 15 late-life lifestyle and demographic factors with episodic memory performance.

Objective: To map existing knowledge on screening and rehabilitation outcomes for co-occurring traumatic brain injury among people with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: Articles focusing on screening and rehabilitation outcomes in participants sustaining co-occurring traumatic brain injury and traumatic spinal cord injury (all ages) were identified in Ovid, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses electronic databases. There were no limitations on study design, date, or geographical location.
