Key Points

The study aims to identify subgroups of individuals with acquired brain injury based on anxiety sensitivity and experiential avoidance and assess their anxiety, depression, and quality of life.
Individuals were recruited from an ABI outpatient clinic in Ontario, Canada.
Comprehensive psychosocial questionnaires were administered, and a two-step cluster analysis was performed on anxiety sensitivity and experiential avoidance scores.
Clinical outcomes were compared using multivariate analysis of variance for anxiety, depression, and quality of life.
Three unique clusters were found based on anxiety sensitivity and experiential avoidance levels (Cluster 1: lowest, Cluster 3: highest).
Cluster 3 had significantly higher anxiety and depression scores compared to Clusters 1 and 2 (p < 0.001 for all).
Cluster 3 scored significantly lower on the EQ-5D than Cluster 1 (p = 0.032).
