Abstract:
Objective To explore and analyze the executive function of patients with traumatic brain injury in recovery phase and reveal its influential factors.Methods Behavioral Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) was conducted in 104 patients with brain injury at 5 ～ 6 months after discharging and matched healthy comparison subjects in this study.Basic information in patients with the clinical data were collected by self-designed questionnaire to analyze the relevant factors.Results BADS findings showed that the individual scores and total standard scores of brain injury patients( 12.05 ± 2.54 ) were significantly lower than those of health population ( 19.02 ± 3.77 ) (P ＜ 0.05 ).Action program test, temporal judgment test, modified six elements test and total sub-standard scores ( 14.83 ±3.86)in junior high school education level and below group were significantly lower than that in high school and higher education group ( 17.67 ± 4.10 ).The individual scores and total standard scores ( 10.13 ± 3.86 )in heavier group were significantly lower than that in the lighter group ( 15.68 ± 4.10 ).The group without complication' action program test, key search test, zoo map test, modified six elements test were significantly lower than the group with complication.The BADS scores were related to education, illness condition,and complication (hypertension, hyperglykemia, hyperlipemia) (P＜0.05).Conclusion There is executive dysfunction in traumatic brain injury patients.The executive dysfunction is mainly correlated with education, illnesscondition and complication.Medical staff should provide pertinent intervention and treatment according to the above aspects, in order to obtain better effects of rehabilitation therapy .
