Traumatic brain injury and mortality in older adults with and without pre-injury dementia
TBI is associated with higher all-cause mortality than NTT, particularly in older age. Among those with TBI, patients with pre-injury dementia had particularly high chronic mortality. There is an urgent need to understand the reasons for poor outcomes in older adult TBI populations, especially those with dementia.
