Limited research has investigated specific attentional sequelae following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), such as sustained, selective, and shifting attention, as well as speed of processing. Little is known about the pattern of recovery of these skills or their interaction with ongoing development. The present study examined attentional abilities at acute, 6-, 12-, and 24-month time points postinjury in a group of 71 children who had sustained a mild, moderate, or severe TBI. Results indicated that children who sustained a severe TBI generally performed poorest, but showed most recovery over time. The pattern of recovery was dependent on the attentional component being measured. Specifically, deficits were most evident on more complex and timed tasks. While a number of areas showed recovery over time, for some attentional components, difficulties persisted to 24 months postinjury. (JINS, 2005,11, 84–98.)

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an escalating problem with an almost geometric progression. The problem escalated with increasing population and traffic, but with limited resources to handle the issue.1,2 The present study has its objective focused on making a prognosis of the TBI patient.3 The outcome prediction helps in conveying the prognosis to the patient’s family. Needless to say, a prognostic prediction is also helpful in the optimal and timely utilization of available resources.
