on Is Cognitive Performance Related to Level of Community Integration Many Years after Traumatic Brain Injury?

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between measures of cognition and level of community integration 7 to 24 years after moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Subjects were recruited from in-patient health records of a large rehabilitation hospital in Pennsylvania. Eligible subjects were traced and then invited to participate in a face-to-face interview which included the Community Integration Scale (CIQ), and cognitive tests such as Trails A & B, the Rivermead Story Recall subtest, and the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Exam (NCSE). Lin-ear regression analyses on 207 subjects showed that Trails A, Trails B, and story recall measure were significantly associated with CIQ scores ( p,.0005) control-ling for age and education. Results with other cognitive measures are discussed
