Trial Outcomes & Findings for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Screening Instruments (NCT NCT00875329)

NCT ID: NCT00875329

Last Updated: 2015-07-03

Results Overview

The presence or absence of symptomatic TBI as determined by the VA TBI Clinical Reminder screen was compared to presence or absence of a deployment-related TBI as determined by the study's criterion standard (i.e., the VA TBI Clinical Identification Interview) to determine concordance and calculate sensitivity and specificity of the VA TBI Clinical Reminder screen. Sensitivity of the screen was the percent of positive screens of those determined to be true positives by the VA TBI Clinical Identification Interview. Specificity was the percentage of negatives screens that were determined to be true negatives by the VA TBI Clinical Identification Interview.

Measure
Convenience Sample
A convenience sample of 97VHA patients who served during the OEF or OIF era, who are targeted in CPRS as requiring the TBI Clinical reminder were included. This included all ages, both sexes, and all races and ethnicities. All participants provided responses to demographic information, a TBI Re-screen, and a semi-structured TBI Identification Clinical Interview.
