Summary

A better understanding of the impact of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in the elderly, in terms of brain damage, cognitive and motor functions, sleep quality and quality of life is necessary due to the increasing incidence and prevalence of TBI in this population and its high economic impact on society. Therefore, this study aims at describing the short-term consequences of TBI by studying injury patterns, injury severity, risk profiles, brain damage, co-morbidities, post-traumatic history, level of dependency, serum-based injury biomarkers, cognitive and motor functions, sleep quality and quality of life 6 months after TBI. All the obtained results will be integrated in a new prognostic tool for the course of the outcomes of TBI in the elderly population.
