0670_ABSMC_Updates in Traumatic Brain Injury Prognosis_EM
Description:
This course provides an in-depth review of recent advances in the prognosis of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), drawing from key sources including the TBI Model Systems, updated management guidelines for disorders of consciousness from the American Academy of Neurology and the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine, and findings from the TRACK-TBI longitudinal studies. Traumatic brain injury remains a leading cause of long-term disability, and clinicians play a critical role in guiding patients and families through early decision-making. Historically, physicians have often underestimated recovery potential in patients with severe TBI or disorders of consciousness. However, emerging evidence underscores the importance of a more optimistic and evidence-based approach to prognostication. This course is designed to equip physicians across specialties with the knowledge needed to interpret these updates, support informed prognostic discussions, and advocate for appropriate rehabilitative services to optimize long-term outcomes for this population
Target Audience
Physicians (MD or DO)
Other Healthcare Professionals
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:
• Describe the role of emerging biomarkers in TBI prognosis
• Describe the benefits and limitations of imaging in TBI prognosis
• Recognize the role of socioeconomic status on outcomes
• Predict expectations for recovery in patients with mild TBI including the factors which may result in delays in recovery
• Identify the changes in long-term prognosis for those with mod/severe TBI based on recent studies from the TBI model systems
• Discuss important practice guideline updates in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC)
