Statement of Task
A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and conduct a 1-day public workshop to explore unmet research needs in traumatic brain injury (TBI) among adults 65 years and older. Invited presentations and discussions may be designed to
- Discuss what is known about the incidence of TBI among older adults and the reasons behind the dearth of research in this age group.
- Explore critical research gaps regarding post-TBI recovery in older adults, including the existence of diverse clinical phenotypes with different symptom trajectories, comorbidities, and polypharmacy.
- Consider approaches to address the underrepresentation of older adults in clinical research and datasets for TBI.
- Discuss how to translate emerging clinical research into more robust guidance for TBI treatment and management among older adults.
