Table 2 Studies on long-term outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients involving clinical neurophysiological data

Mackey-Hargadine & Hall 1985 [17]

114

AEP

Significant correlation between AEP, pupil reactivity and outcome in a 24 month period

Shin et al. 1989 [18]

29

AEP and SEP

SEP helped to improve prediction of outcome 12 months after TBI

Thatcher et al. 1991 [19]

162

EEG and AEP

Combination of EEG and GCS bet predicted outcome 12 months after TBI

Mazzini et al. 1999 [20]

27

SEP and MEP from upper and lower limbs

Clinical and functional outcome was strongly correlated with abnormalities from tibial SEP, 6 and 12 months after TBI

Özbudak-Demir et al. 1999 [21]

26

Median and tibial SEP

Normal SEP latencies were associated with better outcome, more than 8 months after TBI

Lew et al. 2003 [22]

22

Median SEP

Bilateral absence of SEP was strongly predictive of worst outcome (death or vegetative state), 6 months after TBI

Houlden et al. 2010 [23]

81

Median SEP

SEP within 7 days after TBI correlate with 1 y outcome
