Relationship of screen-based symptoms for mild traumatic brain injury and mental health problems in Iraq and Afghanistan veterans: Distinct or overlapping symptoms? J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(7):1115–26. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.02.0015 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.02.0015JSP Aim – Identify distinguishing features of traumatic brain injury (TBI), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression to more accurately discriminate among them in Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) veterans. Relevance – Separating symptoms of TBI from symptoms of mental health problems (PTSD and depression) may facilitate diagnosis, triage to specialty care, and targeted symptom management.

Relationship of screen-based symptoms for mild traumatic brain injury and mental health problems in Iraq and Afghanistan veterans: Distinct or overlapping symptoms? J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(7):1115–26. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.02.0015 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.02.0015JSP Methods We used factor analytic techniques to differentiate distinct from overlapping screen-based symptoms of TBI, PTSD, and depression derived from screen results of OIF/OEF veterans between April 2007 and January 2010.

Relationship of screen-based symptoms for mild traumatic brain injury and mental health problems in Iraq and Afghanistan veterans: Distinct or overlapping symptoms? J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(7):1115–26. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.02.0015 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.02.0015JSP Results Four separate constructs emerged: – TBI. – PTSD. – Depression. – Hypervigilance/sleep problems. Symptoms unique to TBI included dizziness, headaches, memory problems, and light sensitivity.

Relationship of screen-based symptoms for mild traumatic brain injury and mental health problems in Iraq and Afghanistan veterans: Distinct or overlapping symptoms? J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(7):1115–26. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.02.0015 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.02.0015JSP Conclusion Emergence of hypervigilance/sleep problems as a fourth factor highlights need to attend to specific symptoms in postdeployment screening process. Discriminating symptoms of TBI from mental health problems may facilitate diagnosis, triage to specialty care, and targeted symptom management.
