Sleep disturbances among older adults following traumatic brain injury.
The objective of this study was to assess the risk of newly diagnosed sleep disorders following traumatic brain injury (TBI) among adults aged 65 and older. Subjects diagnosed with TBI and non-TBI controls were identified through a large commercial insurance database. Results showed that TBI was associated with an increased risk of insomnia and any sleep disorder. Recommendations included following TBI among older adults, screening, and education on sleep disorders.
