Abstract

Medical conditions co-occurring with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are associated with outcomes, and comorbidity indices such as Charlson and Elixhauser are used in TBI research, but they are not TBI specific. The purpose of this research was to develop an index or indices of medical conditions, identified in acute care after moderate to severe TBI, that are associated with outcomes at rehabilitation discharge. Using the TBI Model Systems National Database, the
