OBJECTIVE: It would be logical to assume that @entity1 with @entity1504 (i.e. complicated MTBIs) would have worse outcome than @entity1 without these abnormalities (i.e. uncomplicated MTBIs). However, the literature is limited and somewhat mixed regarding outcome in @entity1 with complicated mild TBIs. The purpose of this study is to employ a carefully controlled research design to compare the acute neuropsychological functioning of @entity1 following complicated and uncomplicated MTBI. METHOD: @entity1 were 20 @entity1 with complicated MTBI and 20 @entity1 with uncomplicated MTBI selected from an archival database of 465 @entity1 . @entity1 were carefully matched on age, education, gender, ethnicity, days assessed @entity130 and mechanism of injury. @entity1 were assessed an average of 3.5 days (SD = 1.9) @entity130 with 13 common cognitive variables. RESULTS: There were significant group differences on only three of the 13 cognitive measures (complicated mild @entity131 worse than uncomplicated mild @entity131 ). There were no significant differences in the proportion of impaired scores between groups on all measures, with the exception of Hopkins Verbal Learning Test Delayed Recall. CONCLUSION: @entity1 with complicated MTBIs performed more poorly only on a small number of tests during the acute recovery period.
