Comparison with Other Conditions
Comparison with Brain Injury
These results compare cognitive impairment 6 months after injury in people with traumatic brain injury (head trauma) and people with hemorrhagic stroke. In every domain, people with head trauma showed more cognitive impairment.

|---|---|---|---|
| Attention | Head trauma | 16.0 | 24.0 |
| Stroke | 0 | 0 | |
| Language | Head trauma | 4.0 | 28.0 |
| Stroke | 0 | 10.0 | |
| Memory | Head trauma | 4.1 | 36.7 |
