Abstract

Pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) can lead to considerable mortality, morbidity, mental impairment, and physical disability over time. The direct impact of pTBI on educational attainment is unclear. We included all pediatric 0- to 17-year-old patients who were at least 26 years old at the end of the follow-up with a diagnosis of TBI in the Finnish Care Registry for Health Care (years 1998 to 2018) to form our study group (pTBI group). The reference group comprised patients with ankle and wrist fractures. The pTBI group was further divided into concussions and specific intracranial injuries. We compared this information to Statistics Finland´s Degree/Qualification data to evaluate educational attainment at 3 main levels. All comparisons were made using logistic regression with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The pTBI group comprised 8 487 patients and the reference group comprised 15,552 patients. In total, 7594 pTBI patients had a concussion and 892 a specific intracranial injury. The pTBI group had lower odds of attaining any tertiary education compared with the reference group (odds ratio [OR] 0.85; CI 0.80, 0.90). The pTBI group was also more likely to remain at a lower tertiary education than attain higher tertiary education (OR 0.81; CI 0.74, 0.87). Patients with specific intracranial injuries were more likely not to attain any tertiary education compared to patients with concussions (OR 0.78; CI 0.68, 0.90). People with pTBI had lower educational attainment at all higher educational levels than the reference population with ankle and wrist injuries.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
