Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may alter the course of neuropsychiatric symptom (NPS) onset during dementia development. The connection among TBI, NPS, and dementia progression is of increasing interest to researchers and clinicians.
METHODS: Incidence of NPS was examined in participants with normal cognition who progressed to all-cause dementia based on whether TBI history was present (n = 130) or absent (n = 849). Survival analyses were used to examine NPS incidence across 7.6 ± 3.0 years of follow-up.
RESULTS: Participants with TBI history had increased prevalence and incidence of apathy (44.7% vs 29.9%, P = .0062; HR
DISCUSSION: History of TBI is associated with increased risk for and earlier onset of NPS in the trajectory of dementia development.
