Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: Approximately, 80% of traumatic brain injuries are considered mild in severity. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) may cause temporary or persisting impairments that can adversely affect an individual's ability to participate in daily occupations and life roles. This study aimed to identify symptoms, factors predicting level of symptoms and functional and psycho-social outcomes for participants with mTBI three months following injury. METHOD: Patients discharged from the Emergency Department of a major metropolitan hospital with a diagnosis of mTBI were contacted by telephone three months after injury. An interview with two questionnaires was administered: The Concussion Symptom Inventory (CSI) Scale and the Rivermead Head Injury Follow-Up Questionnaire (RHIFUQ). Data obtained were used to determine the type and prevalence of post-concussion symptoms and their impact on activity change. RESULTS: Sixty-three people with mTBI participated in the study. The majority of participants (81%) reported that all symptoms had resolved within the three-month time frame. Of those still experiencing symptoms, workplace fatigue (22%) and an inability to maintain previous workload/standards (17%) were reported. CONCLUSION: There is a small, but clinically significant, subgroup of patients who continue to experience symptoms three-month post-mTBI. Symptoms experienced beyond the expected three-month recovery timeframe have the potential to adversely affect an individual's ability to participate in daily occupation and return to work.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
