Immediate neurorehabilitation significantly lowers the risk of Alzheimer's disease in patients with traumatic brain injury, suggesting rapid intervention is key.
At 3 years, immediate treatment showed a 41% lower risk for Alzheimer's (HR, 0.59), with similar reductions for mild cognitive impairment and dementia also noted.
The study involved a retrospective cohort of 37,081 eligible patients, with 17,636 after matching, showcasing the extensive patient base used for findings.
Findings underscore the need for prompt neurorehabilitative care, as it may mitigate long-term neurodegenerative effects post-injury.
