Get Ohio State University Tbi Identification Method Form

The Ohio State University Traumatic Brain Injury Identification Method (OSU TBI-ID) is a standardized procedure for eliciting a person's lifetime history of TBI through a 3-5 minute structured interview. The OSU TBI-ID is recommended for use by all health care and social service professionals.

TBI can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe, typically based on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and/or neurobehavioral deficits after the injury.

NCCT is the most common imaging technology used to assess TBI because it readily detects trauma-related fractures, hemorrhage, intracranial injury, extra-axial fluid collection, brain tissue swelling, and radio-opaque foreign bodies (e.g., shrapnel) (Jagoda, 2008; Wintermark et al., 2015).

The Brain Injury Screening Tool (BIST) helps health practitioners assess and manage suspected brain injury (or concussion) in people over 8 years old. The BIST takes about 6 minutes to complete.

The Boston Assessment of Traumatic Brain Injury-Lifetime (BAT-L) has become a gold standard for assessing mild TBI specific to Veterans. It is in use at many VA medical centers and War Related Illness and Injury Study Center sites across the country. Mild TBI is a common injury in post-9/11 Veterans.

The 3 Question DVBIC TBI Screening Tool was designed to evaluate USA Military Veterans and identify service members who may need further evaluation for mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI).

The OSU TBI-ID has proven reliable and valid, and studies have shown results are associated with brain structure and function detected from imaging.
