Positive Versus Negative Neuroimaging in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Outcome: A Meta-Analysis
Year: 2010
Type: review
Study designs: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis
Abstract: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) can be broken into two categories; complicated and uncomplicated. These categories are based on structural imaging scans during the assessment of the injury. If abnormalities appear in the scan, we refer to it as complicated. The present research aims at determining whether there are differences in the neuropsychological deficits in the presences of positive neuroimaging as opposed to negative neuroimaging. This was accomplished with meta-analytic techniques. It was found that neuroimaging does not predict neuropsychological functioning in the chronic state of mTBI.
