OBJECTIVE: This study examines the prevalence of @entity146 morbidity in a large sample of @entity8425 ( @entity8425 ) @entity1 in three phases of recovery and its effects on cognitive functioning. METHODS: Eight-six self-referred @entity8425 @entity1 received @entity146 and neuropsychological evaluations. Descriptive statistics were conducted to examine the prevalence of @entity146 morbidity. Polytomous logistic regression was used to identify predictors of @entity146 diagnosis. Between-subjects analysis of variances (ANOVA) was conducted to examine the effects of @entity146 morbidity on cognitive functioning. RESULTS: Seventy-eight percent of subjects warranted a @entity146 diagnosis. Long-term @entity1 compared to acute @entity1 were more likely to be diagnosed with two diagnoses than not having any diagnosis (OR=14.30, 95% CI 1.40-38.71). @entity1 with two diagnoses performed worse than both @entity1 with a single or no diagnosis on all cognitive outcome measures (P<.05). Voltage level, @entity1118 and litigation status did not predict @entity146 morbidity. CONCLUSIONS: Psychiatric difficulties commonly emerge and persist following @entity8425 . @entity8425 @entity1 with @entity146 conditions exhibited poorer cognitive performance as compared to @entity8425 @entity1 with no post-injury @entity146 difficulties. Health care professionals need to devote careful attention to @entity146 and cognitive status when treating survivors of @entity8425 .
