Purpose : This study aimed to determine and compare the prevalence of persistent PCS (more than one month post-injury) with those without PCS in mTBI patients. Methods : This study employed a retrospective cohort design and analyzed patient data from hospital records between July and December 2022, yielding a sample of 316 participants with mTBI. Patients with complete medical record data and active health checks for one month after being treated were taken as research subjects. PCS measurement was conducted using the Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ).

Results : The prevalence of persistent PCS in mTBI patients was 112 (35.4%) patients.

Problems concentrating (37.5%), headache (30.3%), and light sensitivity (32.1%) were the most common symptoms of PCS. Conclusions : A significant proportion of persistent PCS was found, with the most prevalent occurring in the second month after mTBI and involving motor vehicle-related injuries. These findings warrant better screening guidelines and practices that patients can adopt after mTBI. }, issn = {2406-8799}, pages = {199--209} doi = {10.14710/nmjn.v14i2.56529}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/medianers/article/view/56529} }
