Ohio State University TBI Identification Method

# data[].attributes.subject
Ohio State University TBI Identification Method

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Ohio State University Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Identification Method (OSU TBI-ID) is a standardized procedure for eliciting lifetime history of TBI via a structured interview. The instrument is based on Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC; National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 2003) case definitions and recommendations for TBI surveillance. The OSU TBI-ID was designed to use self- or proxy-reports to elicit summary indices reflecting TBI's occurring over a person's lifetime. While self-report is not an ideal for determining how much compromise a person's brain may have incurred as a result of lifetime exposure to TBI, it is for now the gold standard for both research and clinical uses.

How does the OSU TBI-ID work and get scored?

The validity of the OSU TBI-ID is not based on elicitation of a perfect accounting of a person's lifetime history of TBI. Instead, the OSU TBI-ID provides a means to estimate the likelihood that consequences have resulted from one's lifetime exposure. We recommend additional consideration be given to the potential effects of this exposure when:

WORST - there has been one moderate or severe TBI (i.e., any TBI with 30 minutes or more loss of consciousness)

FIRST - TBI with any loss of consciousness before age 20

MULTIPLE - had 2 or more TBIs close together, including a period of time when they experienced multiple blows to the head even if apparently without effect

RECENT - a mild TBI in recent weeks or a more severe TBI in recent months

OTHER SOURCES - any TBI combined with another way that their brain has been impaired

Why is it important to screen for TBI?

Research indicates that a person's lifetime history of TBI is useful for judging current cognitive and emotional states, particularly behavior associated with the executive functioning of the frontal parts of the brain (e.g., planning, impulsivity, addiction, interpersonal abilities). Due to how TBI damages the brain, more exposure (i.e., a worse history of lifetime TBI) increases the likelihood that an individual will struggle with current life stressors, whatever they are. A person who has compromised functioning in the frontal areas of the brain:

adapts less well in new or stressful situations

has greater problems following through on recommendations from professionals

has more difficulty making lifestyle changes, particularly when rewards are in the future

People with brain injury may experience intermittent problems in cognitive functioning that may make them feel that they are at the mercy of their injuries. Fortunately, most cognitive impairments caused by brain injury are not constant and only cause trouble at certain times in certain places and follow predictable patterns.

Dr. Maria Romanas discusses strategies to help you pay attention to, write down, and understand your "Brain-Injured Moments." By doing this, you can discover your own particular patterns of Brain-Injured Moments so that you can learn to anticipate them and even prevent them from occurring. This practical approach can help you gain control, accelerate your recovery, and maximize your functioning.

Falls-and the injuries and deaths they cause-are increasing, but falls can be prevented.

Falls are a threat to the health of older adults and can reduce their ability to remain independent. However, falls don't have to be inevitable as you age. You can reduce your chance of falling or help a loved one prevent falls. There are proven ways to reduce and prevent falls, even for older adults. We identify older adults as anyone 65 years and older. CDC uses data and research [PDF - 1 page] to help prevent falls and save lives.

36,000
Falls among adults 65 and older caused over 36,000 deaths in 2020, making it the leading cause of injury death for that group.

3 Million
In 2020, emergency departments recorded 3 million visits for older adult falls.

$50 Billion
Older adult falls cost $50 billion in medical costs annually, with 3/4 paid by Medicare and Medicaid.
