AbstractObjectives:To examine whether apolipoprotein e4 (APOE) status moderates the association of family environment with child functioning following early traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:Sixty-five children with moderate to severe TBI and 70 children with orthopedic injury (OI) completed assessments 6, 12, 18 months, and 3.5 and 6.8 years post injury. DNA was extracted from saliva samples and genotyped for APOE e4 status. Linear mixed models examined moderating effects of APOE e4 status on associations between two family environment factors (parenting style, home environment) and three child outcomes (executive functioning, behavioral adjustment, adaptive functioning).Results:Children with TBI who were carriers of the e4 allele showed poorer adaptive functioning relative to non-carriers with TBI and children with OI in the context of low authoritarianism. At high levels of authoritarianism, non-carriers with TBI showed the poorest adaptive functioning among groups. There were no main effects or interactions involving APOE and executive functioning or behavioral adjustment.Conclusions:The APOE e4 allele was detrimental for long-term adaptive functioning in the context of positive parenting, whereas in less optimal parenting contexts, being a non-carrier was detrimental. We provide preliminary evidence for an interaction of APOE e4 status and parenting style in predicting long-term outcomes following early TBI. (JINS, 2016,22, 859–864)

The Relationship

Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine the relationship between symptom self-report accuracy and objective cognitive functioning in multiple cognitive domains for varying neurocognitive impairment (NCI) subsequent to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Specifically, the discrepancy between self-report and objective findings among participants with mild, moderate, and severe NCI was examined within the cognitive domains of Attention, Executive Functioning, Learning/Memory, and Speech/Language. Method The sample included archival data consisting of neuropsychological scores and self-reported Ruff Neurobehavioral Inventory (RNBI) results of 135 adult TBI patients with mild, moderate, or severe NCI who received neuropsychological assessment at a private practice. Patients were grouped based on level of impairment using Halstead Impairment Index criteria. Results No main effect was found for Attention. Patients with severe NCI had greater discrepancies in Executive Functioning (p = 0.015), Learning/Memory (p = 0.015), and Speech/Language (p < 0.001) function, when compared to those with mild NCI. Additionally, patients with severe NCI demonstrated greater discrepancies in Speech/Language (p < 0.001) function when compared to those with moderate NCI. Conclusion These findings indicate as severity of neurocognitive impairment increases for TBI patients, self-reported cognitive symptomatology—specifically executive functioning, learning/memory, and speech/language—will become less accurate. Clinically, these findings suggest that when working with patients who have severe neurocognitive deficits subsequent to TBI, it is important to consider objective testing as self-reporting may not be accurate. Understanding patient’s genuine deficits will foster patient awareness and acceptance of TBI-related cognitive deficits with increased investment in treatment and improved neurorehabilitation outcomes.
