Objective. To assess the clinical course of @entity73 in @entity1 with severe @entity131 (sTBI) from 3 weeks to 1 year after @entity130 and to study associations with outcomes at 1 year. Methods. Prospective, multicenter, observational study of sTBI in Sweden and Iceland. @entity1 aged 18-65 years with acute Glasgow @entity772 Scale 3-8 were assessed with the Barrow Neurological Institute Screen for Higher Cerebral Functions (BNIS) and the Hospital Anxiety and @entity308 Scale (HADS). Outcome measures were Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE) and Rancho Los Amigos Cognitive Scale-Revised (RLAS-R). Results. Cognition was assessed with the BNIS assessed for 42 @entity1 out of 100 at 3 weeks, 75 @entity1 at 3 months, and 78 @entity1 at 1 year. Cognition improved over time, especially from 3 weeks to 3 months. The BNIS subscales "orientation" and " @entity227 " were associated with the GOSE and RLAS-R at 1 year. Conclusion. Cognition seemed to improve over time after sTBI and appeared to be rather stable from 3 months to 1 year. Since cognitive function was associated with outcomes, these results indicate that early screening of cognitive function could be of importance for rehabilitation planning in a clinical setting.
