Abstract

The article examines the clinical and neurological characteristics of individuals with mild combat traumatic brain injury (mTBI) based on the duration of the post-trauma period. The study involved 145 patients who sustained mTBI during military operations in Ukraine, with assessments of complaints, medical history, and neurological status. Utilizing the NOS-TBI scale and routine examination methods revealed a prevalence of autonomic symptoms in the early post-trauma period (6 months — 1 year) and focal symptoms with cognitive impairments in patients with longer post-trauma periods (4 to 7 years). The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the NOS-TBI scale for quantitative assessment of severity and dynamics of neurological deficits following mTBI.
