Evidence of Ongoing Cerebral Microstructural Reorganization in Children With Persisting Symptoms Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A NODDI DTI Analysis
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Approximately 300–550 children per 100,000 sustain a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) each year, of whom ∼25–30% have long-term cognitive problems. Following mTBI, free water (FW) accumulation occurs in white matter (WM) tracts. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be used to investigate structural integrity following mTBI. Compared with conventional DTI, neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) orientation dispersion index (ODI) and fraction of isolated free water (FISO) metrics may allow a more advanced insight into microstructural damage following pediatric mTBI. In this longitudinal study, we used NODDI to explore whole-brain and tract-specific differences in ODI and FISO in children with persistent symptoms after mTBI ( n = 80) and in children displaying clinical recovery ( n = 32) at 1 and 2–3 months post-mTBI compared with healthy controls (HCs) ( n = 21). Two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and voxelwise two-sample t tests were conducted to compare whole-brain and tract-specific diffusion across groups. All results were corrected at positive false discovery rate (pFDR) <0.05. We also examined the association between NODDI metrics and clinical outcomes, using logistical regression to investigate the value of NODDI metrics in predicting future recovery from mTBI. Whole-brain ODI was significantly increased in symptomatic participants compared with HCs at both 1 and 2 months post-injury, where the uncinate fasciculus (UF) and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) were particularly implicated. Using region of interest (ROI) analysis in significant WM, bilateral IFOF and UF voxels, symptomatic participants had the highest ODI in all ROIs. ODI was lower in asymptomatic participants, and HCs had the lowest ODI in all ROIs. No changes in FISO were found across groups or over time. WM ODI was moderately correlated with a higher youth-reported post-concussion symptom inventory (PCSI) score. With 87% predictive power, ODI (1 month post-injury) and clinical predictors (age, sex, PCSI score, attention scores) were a more sensitive predictor of recovery at 2–3 months post-injury than fractional anisotropy (FA) and clinical predictors, or clinical predictors alone. FISO could not predict recovery at 2–3 months post-injury. Therefore, we found that ODI was significantly increased in symptomatic children following mTBI compared with HCs at 1 month post-injury, and progressively decreased over time alongside clinical recovery. We found no significant differences in FISO between groups or over time. WM ODI at 1 month was a more sensitive predictor of clinical recovery at 2–3 months post-injury than FA, FISO, or clinical measures alone. Our results show evidence of ongoing microstructural reorganization or neuroinflammation between 1 and 2–3 months post-injury, further supporting delayed return to play in children who remain symptomatic. We recommend future research examining the clinical utility of NODDI following mTBI to predict recovery or persistence of post-concussion symptoms and thereby inform management of mTBI.

Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
