Observational study reveals no association between mTBI and psychiatric disorders in adolescents, suggesting need for future research.
These results suggest that for nonclinically selected youths with mTBI, in the first year after late childhood injury, mTBI is not associated with differential odds of NPDs. Preinjury psychiatric history predicted NPDs, and self-reported Hispanic ethnicity predicted lower odds of NPDs at year 1. Future studies are needed to further characterize psychiatric sequelae after pediatric mTBI across adolescence to identify risk and protective factors for targeted prevention and intervention strategies.
