Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health problem in Western countries. A TBI brings many negative consequences, including behavioral and cognitive changes, which affect social adjustment and the performance of functional activities. Cognitive evaluation after TBI is a complex issue in what pertains to definition of the most appropriate questionnaires for clinical use in a comprehensive analysis of the condition of the patient. In this paper, we described a critical review of the main cognitive assessment tests currently used in clinical and research settings in patients with TBI.

Resumo

O traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) é o maior problema de saúde pública nos países ocidentais. A ocorrência de um TCE traz diversas consequências negativas ao indivíduo, incluindo alterações comportamentais e cognitivas que afetam o ajustamento social e o desempenho em atividades funcionais. A avaliação das alterações cognitivas apresenta dificuldades de definição dos questionários e testes mais apropriados para análise ampla das condições do paciente para aplicação clínica. Neste artigo, realizamos uma revisão crítica dos principais testes de avaliação cognitiva utilizados atualmente, em ambiente clínico e de pesquisa, em pacientes com TCE.
