Abstract:
Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)more often occurred in patients with mild traumatic brain injury, leading to the incidence of emergency room (ER) re-visit. This predictive study aimed to investigate the PCS in patients with mild traumatic brain injury after discharge from ER and examine predictive factors of the PCS, including age, co-morbid severity, injury severity, anxiety, and social support. The sample was 107 patients with mild traumatic brain injury who visited and discharged within one week from the emergency room of a governmental hospital at a super-tertiary level and a private hospital at a tertiary level. Data were analyzed using descriptive statics, Pearson's Product moment correlation and multiple regression.
