Acute Trauma Factor Associations With Suicidality Across the First 5 Years After Traumatic Brain Injury.
Matthew R. Kesinger,Shannon B. Juengst,Hillary Bertisch,Janet P. Niemeier,Janet P. Niemeier,Jason W. Krellman,Mary Jo Pugh,Raj G. Kumar,Jason L. Sperry,Patricia M. Arenth,Jesse R. Fann,Amy K. Wagner +11 more
TL;DR: Severe ECI carried a nearly 3-fold increase in the odds of SI after TBI, but it was not related to SA, and head injury severity and less severe ECI were not associated with SI or SA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of preinjury depressive symptoms to outcomes 3 mos after complicated and uncomplicated mild traumatic brain injury.
Raj G. Kumar,Michael B. Bracken,Allison N. Clark,Todd G. Nick,Maria S. Melguizo,Angelle M. Sander +5 more
TL;DR: Moderate to severe depressive symptoms in the month before injury seems to be a possible risk factor for poor affective/behavioral, cognitive, and mental health-related quality-of-life outcomes at 3 mos after mild traumatic brain injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability with Astroglial Glutamate Transport Genetics Is Associated with Increased Risk for Post-Traumatic Seizures.
TL;DR: Variation within SLC1A3 is associated with accelerated epileptogenesis and clinical PTS development after sTBI and how genetic variation at rs4869682 may be a target for PTS prevention and treatment is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebrospinal fluid cortisol mediates brain-derived neurotrophic factor relationships to mortality after severe TBI: A prospective cohort study
Miranda J. Munoz,Miranda J. Munoz,Raj G. Kumar,Byung Mo Oh,Byung Mo Oh,Yvette P. Conley,Zhensheng Wang,Michelle D. Failla,Amy K. Wagner +8 more
TL;DR: 6-month mortality after severe TBI can be predicted through a mediation model with CSF cortisol and BDNF, suggesting a regulatory role for cortisol with BDNF's contribution to TBI pathophysiology and mortality, particularly among younger individuals with severe T BI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comorbid Conditions Among Adults 50 Years and Older With Traumatic Brain Injury: Examining Associations With Demographics, Healthcare Utilization, Institutionalization, and 1-Year Outcomes.
Raj G. Kumar,Jennifer Olsen,Shannon B. Juengst,Kristen Dams-Oʼconnor,Therese M OʼNeil-Pirozzi,Flora M. Hammond,Amy K. Wagner +6 more
TL;DR: Preexisting health conditions and acute complications contribute to TBI outcomes and this work provides a foundation to explore effects of comorbidity prevention and management on TBI recovery in older adults.
