Abstract
Contrary to expectation, DK patients who received significantly more rehabilitation services during the year after severe TBI did not differ in outcome from their less intensively treated U.S. counterparts, after adjusting for initial severity. The negative association of functional treatment dose with extent of early disability suggests that dose was driven by unmeasured factors reflecting need for services. Improved measures of injury-related factors driving treatment allocation are needed to model the independent effects of treatment on outcomes.
