Parenting Behaviors after Moderate – Severe Traumatic Injury in Early Childhood

cerebellar atrophy after moderate-to-severe pediatric traumatic brain injury.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although the cerebellum has not attracted the same degree of attention as cortical areas and the hippocampus in traumatic brain injury (TBI) literature, there is limited structural and functional imaging evidence that the cerebellum is also vulnerable to insult. The cerebellum is emerging as part of a frontocerebellar system that, when disrupted, results in significant co...

Pediatric sleep difficulties after moderate-severe traumatic brain injury.

The objective of this study is to systematically investigate sleep following moderate-severe pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). School-aged children with moderate-severe TBI identified via hospital records were invited to participate, along with a school-age sibling. Subjective reports and objective actigraphy correlates of sleep were recorded: Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ),...

Moderate and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Brief report: parental report of sleep behaviors following moderate or severe pediatric traumatic brain injury.

OBJECTIVE Determine the effect of moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI) on the sleep of school-aged children. METHODS A concurrent cohort-prospective design compared children aged 6-12 years who sustained moderate TBI (baseline n = 56), severe TBI (n = 53), or only orthopedic injuries (n = 80). Retrospective parental report of pre-injury sleep was collected about 3 weeks post-inj...

Moderate and severe traumatic brain injury in adults.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major health and socioeconomic problem that affects all societies. In recent years, patterns of injury have been changing, with more injuries, particularly contusions, occurring in older patients. Blast injuries have been identified as a novel entity with specific characteristics. Traditional approaches to the classification of clinical severity are the subject...
