Conclusions: Minor depression may be as common as major depression after TBI and should be taken seriously for its association to negative outcomes related to participation and quality of life. Findings suggest that, as in other populations, minor and major depression are not separate entities, but exist on a continuum. Further research should determine whether people with TBI traverse between the 2 diagnoses as in other patient groups. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

PARIS â Traumatic brain injury may double the risk of developing dementia, a study of more than 280,000 U.S. veterans has shown. The risk of dementia over 7 years was 15.3% in 4,902 veterans who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) diagnosis in 1997-2000, compared with 6.8% in those without the diagnosis. The comparison yielded a hazard ratio of 2.3 for those with any TBI diagnosis after adjustment for age, sex, race, and multiple medical and psychiatric conditions. (Source: Rheumatology News)
