The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) released Examining Traumatic Brain Injury as a Chronic Condition, a readout and report on data demonstrating why traumatic brain injury (TBI) should be considered a long-term health condition. NASEM notes that the recommendation is grounded in analysis of the biological processes of TBI -that shape outcomes over time- and are examined in combination with the multifaceted comorbidities that can continue or arise well after the initial injury. The report also includes personal accounts that highlight the real-world consequences for individuals with TBI and reinforce the need for ongoing, cross-disciplinary support to promote recovery and overall quality of life.
