“…The 12-month follow-up interviews were typically administered by telephone for greater convenience to participants. Telephone administration of structured interviews has been shown to be an effective assessment method for individuals with ABI in a number of studies (Fleming, Shum, Strong, & Lightbody, 2005;Hooper et al, 2004;Mellick, Gerhart, & Whiteneck, 2003). The interview transcripts were collated, scored and analysed.…”

“…Research in this area has covered a broad range of possible deficits including neurobehavioural changes associated with post-concussive symptoms (Mittenberg et al 1992;Yeates et al 1999;Hawley 2004;Barker-Collo 2007;Milroy et al 2008), oppositional behaviour and behaviours associated with inattention, such as restlessness and hyperactivity (Max et al 1997b(Max et al , 1998b(Max et al , 2005Hooper et al 2004). However, again the findings in this field are mixed, with some studies reporting no increase in the incidence of behaviour problems among children who have suffered MTBI Knights et al 1991;Prior et al 1994;Kinsella et al 1999), whereas other studies report the opposite.…”

“…Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of acquired disability in children [1], which results in physical impairments and difficulty with cognition, mood, behavior, social development, and school performance [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Many children also experience changes in their sleep patterns after TBI that could contribute to irritability, disrupted sleep, and daytime somnolence [10][11][12]. Parents report increased daytime somnolence and prolonged nocturnal sleep in grade-school children for months to years after severe TBI compared with mild TBI and controls [12].…”

Objective To determine the relationship between severity of injury and self-reports and parent reports of daytime somnolence in adolescents after traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to determine the relationship between daytime somnolence and self-report and parent report of executive functioning in daily life. Design Cross-sectional study conducted within the first 6 months (mean ± standard deviation 14.97 ± 7.51 weeks) after injury. Partial correlation controlling for injury severity was used to examine the associations of TBI severity with daytime somnolence and the association of daytime somnolence with executive functioning. Setting Outpatient visits at 3 children’s hospitals and 2 general hospitals with pediatric trauma commitment. Participants A total of 102 adolescents, 12–18 years old, who sustained moderate-to-severe TBI (n = 60) or complicated mild TBI (n = 42). Main Outcome Measurements Parent-report Sleepiness Scale, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (youth report), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) (self-report and maternal report). Results Adolescents who sustained moderate-to-severe TBI had increased daytime somnolence compared with those with complicated mild injuries in the parent report but not in the youth report. Based on the parent report, 51% of adolescents with moderate-to-severe TBI showed significant daytime somnolence compared with 22% of those with complicated mild TBI. The parent report of daytime somnolence was associated with executive dysfunction on both the BRIEF self-report and parent report; however, the youth report of daytime somnolence was associated only with the BRIEF self-report. Conclusions The parent report of daytime somnolence correlated with TBI severity and predicted executive functioning difficulties of the teens in everyday circumstances. Although a correlation between daytime somnolence and executive dysfunction were also apparent on self-report, this did not differ based on injury severity. Teens tended to report fewer difficulties with executive function, which suggests that the teens have decreased awareness of their impairments.
