Indicators of complicated mild XXXX predict MMPI-2 scores after 23 years.

@entity1 @entity131 @entity542 @entity2730 @entity6413
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Research suggests that @entity6413 may become persistent after mild @entity131 (mTBI). The aim of this study was to investigate determinants of subjective complaints, characteristic for @entity6413 , 23 years after mTBI. RESEARCH DESIGN: The study was a follow-up after a prospective @entity542 study at a general hospital in Norway. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Ninety-seven @entity1 were assessed with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) 23 years after sustaining primarily mTBI. MAIN OUTCOMES AND RESULTS: A good overall outcome was found with scores close to the normative mean, average length of education and normal employment rate. However, the @entity1 that sustained complicated mTBI showed somewhat more pathological scores, well-matched with mild @entity6413 . The most important predictors of poor outcome were a combination of post-traumatic @entity2730 >30 minutes and EEG pathology within 24 hours after @entity131 . No influence of pre- and post-injury risk factors on current MMPI-2 profiles was found. CONCLUSIONS: The results are in line with previous research findings and support the notion of potentially differential impact of uncomplicated vs. complicated mTBI. The findings suggest that complicated mTBI may cause @entity6413 .
