Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| For all patients measures of cognitive and physical functioning, will be taken using questionnaires at several time points. The following time line is considered: T0) baseline, admission to the ED or ward, T1) 1 week, T2) 4-6 weeks, T3) 3 months after injury and T4) 6 months after injury. For the observational study the main parameter is the outcome determined 3 months after injury using the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended and WHO scale Quality of Life questionnaires. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As secondary outcome measure the unmet needs are explored together with the level of social participation by questionnaires. In the Connectivity add-on study acute and longitudinal changes in brain network connectivity will be assessed by multi-channel electroencephalography (EEG) at T0, T2 and T3. Add-on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is only performed at T2 for between modality comparison across the whole spectrum of older mTBI patients at this time-point. | — |
