Treatment patterns of anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder following traumatic brain injury.
Investigators examined psychotropic medication use and psychotherapy patterns among individuals diagnosed with anxiety disorders and PTSD post-traumatic brain injury (TBI). They found that receipt of pharmacotherapy pre- and post-TBI was considerably more common than receipt of psychotherapy. Individuals diagnosed with anxiety were 66% less likely to receive psychotherapy compared with individuals diagnosed with PTSD. Overall, psychotropic medication use and rates of antidepressant prescription use in the anxiety group were higher compared to those in the PTSD group.

Hospital variation in cervical spine imaging of young children with traumatic brain injury.
The authors sought to identify child-level and hospital-level factors associated with performance of cervical imaging of children with traumatic brain injury from falls and abusive head trauma. They found no association between annual hospital volume of injured children and cervical imaging performance.
