Key Points Question Do patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) receive adequate levels of follow-up care? Findings In a cohort study using data on 831 patients with mTBI presenting to the emergency department at 1 of 11 level I trauma centers across the United States, 42% of patients reported receiving educational material at discharge and 44% reported seeing a physician or other medical practitioner within 3 months after injury. Among patients with 3 or more moderate to severe postconcussive symptoms, only 52% reported having seen a practitioner within 3 months following the injury. Meaning A large proportion of patients with mTBI do not receive follow-up care after injury even when they experience ongoing postconcussive symptoms.
