Long-Term Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury

The question of long-term outcome is one that needs to be considered at all stages and severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI). In cases of mild and relatively moderate head injury, patients and their families will often be concerned regarding issues such as restoration of neurocognitive function, social reintegration, and return to work. For the more severe injuries, the initial concerns may revolve around the issues of life and death and thereafter the possibility of survival with severe disability.
