Association of Professional Football Cumulative Head Impact Index Scores With All-Cause Mortality Among National Football League Players

Two football helmets leaning against each other at the forehead.

Question  Are repetitive head impacts during a professional football career associated with mortality among National Football League players?

Findings  In this cohort study of 13 912 National Football League players, a 25% increase in repetitive head impacts during a professional football career was associated with a statistically significant increase in the hazard ratio of death.

Meaning  The findings suggest that repetitive head impacts are associated with an increase in the risk of all-cause mortality among professional football players.

Multiclass semantic segmentation and quantification of traumatic brain injury lesions on head CT using deep learning: an algorithm development and multicentre validation study

Female doctor looking at CT scan results.

CT is the most common imaging modality in traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, its conventional use requires expert clinical interpretation and does not provide detailed quantitative outputs, which may have prognostic importance. We aimed to use deep learning to reliably and efficiently quantify and detect different lesion types.

A recent study conducted by researchers at New York University and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has led many to believe the leading evidence-based psychotherapies for PTSD do not work for up to two-thirds of patients.

Our findings at Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) show very different results.

Traumatic brain injury in homeless and marginally housed individuals: a systematic review and meta-analysis

A homeless man in Phoenix pulls an overladen shopping cart along a path next to the Arizona Canal. At the time of the photo the canal was drained for cleaning.

Homelessness is a global public health concern, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) could represent an underappreciated factor in the health trajectories of homeless and marginally housed individuals. We aimed to evaluate the lifetime prevalence of TBI in this population, and to summarise findings on TBI incidence and the association between TBI and health-related or functioning-related outcomes.
