Thyroid function in the subacute phase of traumatic brain injury: a potential predictor of post-traumatic neurological and functional outcomes

That thyroid hormones exert pleiotropic effects and have a contributory role in triggering seizures in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be hypothesized. We aimed at investigating thyroid function tests as prognostic factors of the development of seizures and of functional outcome in TBI.This retrospective study enrolled 243 adult patients with a diagnosis of mild-to-severe TBI, consecutively admitted to our rehabilitation unit for...
