Sponsor's own description

A better understanding of the injury patterns, injury severity, risk profiles, consequences and impact of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in the elderly population is necessary due to the increasing incidence and prevalence of TBI in this population and its high economic impact on society. Therefore, this study aims at describing the long-term consequences of TBI. In order to achieve that goal, injury patterns, injury severity and risk profiles for TBI in the elderly will be mapped. Moreover, a retrospective assessment of brain damage, co-morbidities and post-traumatic history, and a prospective assessment of cognitive functions and quality of life in a 20 years range after TBI will be performed. Finally, a statistical correlation of TBI and different types of neurodegenerative diseases, and an economic costs analysis will be done. All the obtained results will be used to develop a new prognostic tool for the course of the outcomes of TBI in the elderly population.
