Implication

Cohort analysis uncovers high rates of behavioral problems after pediatric traumatic brain injury, highlighting the need for long-term monitoring.

Key Points

To examine the frequency of behavioral problems following pediatric traumatic brain injury and assess their associations with injury severity, sex, age, and social environmental factors.
Secondary data analysis of a multistudy cohort across children's hospitals in the Midwestern and Western United States.
Included 591 children (381 boys, 210 girls) with moderate (n = 359) and severe (n = 227) traumatic brain injury sustained ≤3 years prior at a mean age of 11.7 years.
Behavioral outcomes were assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) administered pretreatment.
Thirty-seven percent of children exhibited borderline or clinical elevations on the CBCL Total Problem Scale, with rates of 33% for internalizing problems and 31% for externalizing problems.
Lower parental education was significantly linked to higher rates of internalizing, externalizing, and total behavioral problems.
Internalizing symptoms increased linearly with greater time since injury, while younger boys displayed more oppositional defiant symptoms and older girls had higher attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms.
