&NA; In this review, we analyzed literature related to the clinical, theoretical, and empirical determinants of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) in adults, with a focus on outcomes. Consequences after MTBI were summarized, patient outcomes were organized following Ferrans and Powers' conceptual model of quality of life, and gaps in knowledge were identified. The following databases were searched for publications related to MTBI: PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Digital Dissertation. A total of…

Determinants of long-term health-related quality of life in adult patients with mild traumatic brain injury
TLDR
Clinical significance of early executive function and PCS examination in mTBI population, as well as optimal management of the victims regardless of the initial brain CT findings, are emphasized, especially in high-risk populations.
Recovery from Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Previously Healthy Adults.
TLDR
Recovery from mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) across multiple domains is reported in a carefully selected consecutive sample of 74 previously healthy adults, illustrating the importance of providing evidence-supported treatment and rehabilitation services early in the recovery period.
Associations between neuropsychiatric and health status outcomes in individuals with probable mTBI
A Review of Health-Related Quality of Life in Adult Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors in the Context of Combat Veterans
TLDR
The objective of this review was to identify gaps in current knowledge of HRQOL and TBI and to develop recommendations for future research with combat veterans who have sustained a TBI.
Mild traumatic brain injuries in adults
TLDR
There is general agreement that Glasgow coma score (GCS) of 13 should not be considered as mTBI as the risk of intracranial lesion is higher than in patients with GCS 14–15.
Needs and concerns of male combat Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury.
TLDR
Preliminary support is provided for a new, context-specific conceptual model that has the potential to identify areas for future interventions to enhance community reintegration of combat Veterans with mTBI.
Mild traumatic brain injury: are ED providers identifying which patients are at risk?
Sex-differences in symptoms, disability, and life satisfaction three years after mild traumatic brain injury: a population-based cohort study.
TLDR
There are sex differences in outcome 3 years after mild traumatic brain injury, and high frequency of symptoms was a risk factor for disability and low life satisfaction.
Quality of Life (QoL) in patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): A Literature Review
TLDR
The QOLIBRI as a new disease-specific QoL measurement in TBI seems a feasible and valid approach for the assessment ofQoL in TBO, however, the application across cultural remains a challenge and needs a validation.

Quality of life in patients with traumatic brain injury-basic issues, assessment and recommendations.
TLDR
The international members of this consensus meeting reviewed the literature on Quality of Life assessment after TBI and discussed the applicability of different measurements to this specific patient group and could hardly give an empirically based recommendation.
Outcome after mild traumatic brain injury: an examination of recruitment bias
TLDR
Premorbid factors did not predict whether patients comply with, or refuse study participation, however, the participants group was biased toward those with more significant injuries, which translated into higher rates of healthcare utilisation after injury.
A longitudinal, controlled study of patient complaints following treated mild traumatic brain injury.
Factors influencing outcome following mild traumatic brain injury in adults
TLDR
Outcome in adults with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) at 1 week and 3 months postinjury is investigated and a range of factors appear to be associated with outcome.
Mild traumatic brain injury in an insured population: subjective complaints and return to employment.
TLDR
Education about post-traumatic symptoms from the onset may provide sufficient reassurance to most individuals that future use of medical services is seen as unnecessary, and rate of RTW is relatively higher than reported in previous studies of mild TBI.
Prediction of neuropsychiatric outcome following mild trauma brain injury: an examination of the Glasgow Coma Scale.
TLDR
The results suggest that initial GCS scores do not clearly translate into neuropsychiatric sequelae at follow-up within the rubric of GCS 13-15, and a trend associating longer PTA with lower functional outcome was observed.
Outcome after mild to moderate traumatic brain injury: the role of dizziness.
Neuropsychological rehabilitation of mild traumatic brain injury.
TLDR
A retrospective analysis of the results of a neuropsychological rehabilitation programme for 20 patients with MTBI found that there may be significant variability in recovery and response to treatment after MTBI.
In search of a unified definition for mild traumatic brain injury.
TLDR
An examination of the patients, subdivided into the three types, revealed no significant differences for number of subjective complaints, neurocognitive performances, and pre-existing emotional risk factors, and the proposed gradation unifies the definitions across the heterogeneity of mild TBI.
