“…Other neuropsychiatric manifestations of TBI include anxiety disorders, psychosis, manic symptoms and neurocognitive disorders (Ahmed et al, 2017). The rate of anxiety disorder ranges between 19 and 50 per cent are reported at distinct post-injury durations (Alway, Gould, Johnston, McKenzie, & Ponsford, 2016;Balan, Walz, Diaz, & Schwarzbold, 2021).…”

Introduction: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is any injury to the brain resulting from an external force leading to complications. TBI affects 27-69 million yearly, with high incidence in Africa and LMICs, and is attributed to motor traffic accidents. Within three to six months following moderate-to-severe TBI, the relative risk of any psychiatric disorder is significantly higher than in the general population. Post-TBI neuropsychiatric disorders include; depression with a prevalence of over 50%, apathy up to 72%, Post-traumatic stress disorder (26%), anxiety (9%), manic symptoms (5 - 9%) and psychosis (3 to 8%). This study aims to determine the incidence and predictors of post-TBI neuropsychiatric manifestations among patients admitted at Referral hospitals in Dodoma. Methods and analysis: This is a prospective longitudinal observational study in which patients admitted after moderate to severe TBI will be recruited after obtaining informed consent. Patients will be followed for six months; the diagnostic MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I) tool will assess psychiatric disorders, and severity and progression of symptoms will be assessed using PHQ-9 for depressive symptoms, GAD7 for anxiety symptoms, PCL-5 for Post-traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD), MoCA for cognitive assessment, AES for apathy and YMRS for manic symptoms at one, three and six months. The analysis will use logistic regression to determine the association between predictors and neuropsychiatric outcomes. Ethics and dissemination The ethical clearance has been secured from the institutional Research Review committee and ethical committee of the University of Dodoma with the reference number MA.84/261/12. The respective authorities provided permission to conduct the study within the premises of BMH and DRRH. Keywords: Traumatic Brain Injury, Neuropsychiatric manifestations, Dodoma Tanzania
