Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients: • Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores on admission from 13-15 • having had loss of consciousness and/or posttraumatic amnesia (PTA) • 60 years or older • Comprehension of Dutch language (to understand Dutch questionnaires) Controls: • age-matched with patients on group level • comprehension of Dutch language (to understand Dutch questionnaires) • (corrected) adequate vision • 6-item CIT score lower than 11 points (unimpaired cognition)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime 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

MeasureTime 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.
