Abstract
The purpose of this literature review is to explore the associations between vitamin D status and cognitive and functional outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury who present in the outpatient or rehabilitation setting. The findings from 3 observational studies showed that while vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in this population, the associations between vitamin D status and cognitive and functional outcomes are not consistent. Limited evidence suggests that patients with traumatic brain injury in the outpatient or rehabilitation setting have increased incidence of vitamin D deficiency and, as such, may benefit from monitoring of laboratory assays and supplementation as needed.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
