Is Pre-Injury Socioeconomic Status Associated With Outcomes in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury? A Systematic Review.
Journal of Neurotrauma 2024 April
While socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with a variety of health outcomes, the literature on the association between SES and traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes has not been formally summarized. This study aims to review existing literature to ascertain whether patients with low SES pre-injury have worse clinical outcomes after TBI compared with those with high SES, in high-income countries. A systematic search was conducted using the MEDLINE, Embase, and PsychINFO databases. Observational studies addressing the association between SES and TBI outcomes (mortality, functional, cognitive, and vocational outcomes) were included (published from 2000, written in English). Both pediatric and adult TBI groups were included. Thirty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Measures of SES varied across studies. Mortality was assessed in seven studies; five reported an association between low SES and higher mortality. Five of eight studies showed an association between low SES and worse functional outcomes; results for cognitive ( n = 13) and vocational outcomes ( n = 10) were mixed. The results of this review suggest that SES is a variable of interest in the context of TBI outcomes and should be assessed at time of admission to assist in social work discharge planning and early mobilization of available community resources. Further work is required to better understand the impact of SES on TBI outcomes.
