The authors determined basal hormone levels, initial Glasgow Coma Scale scores, the Marshall CT grades, the presence of abnormal signal intensity indicating lesions on MR images, and duration of unconsciousness. At the 6-month follow-up visits, functional outcomes were estimated using the Modified Barthel Index. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors that influenced functional outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Twenty-one patients with hypopituitarism (Group A) had more lesions in the body of the corpus callosum, basal ganglia, thalamus, and the gray\u2013white matter junction than those without hypopituitarism (Group B). In Group A, growth hormone deficiency (17 patients, 80.9%) was the most common, and multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies were found in 12 patients (57.1%). The mean Modified Barthel Index score at the 6-month follow-up was 64.7 in Group A and 88.5 in Group B (p = 0.027). Duration of unconsciousness (p = 0.035), the Marshall CT grade (p = 0.021), hypopituitarism (p = 0.044), and abnormal signal intensities on MR imaging in midline or deep structures of the brain (p = 0.001) were found to be associated with functional outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The findings in this prospective observational study suggest that hypopituitarism in patients with DAI has a relationship not only with injuries in the midline or deep structures of the brain, but also with a poor outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2009.10.jns091152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,28]],"date-time":"2009-11-28T02:57:02Z","timestamp":1259377022000},"page":"532-538","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Negative effect of hypopituitarism following brain trauma in patients with diffuse axonal injury"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"113","author":[{"given":"Jae Hyun","family":"Jeong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Young Zoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong Woon","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joon Soo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-jns091152","series-title":"Greenfield's Neuropathology","first-page":"123","article-title":"Head injury","author":"Adams","year":"1992"},{"key":"b2-jns091152","series-title":"Histopathology","first-page":"49","article-title":"Diffuse axonal injury in head injury: definition, diagnosis and grading","volume":"15","author":"Adams","year":"1989"},{"key":"b3-jns091152","series-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry","first-page":"481","article-title":"Diffuse axonal injury in non-missile head injury","volume":"54","author":"Adams","year":"1991"},{"key":"b4-jns091152","series-title":"Ann Intern Med","first-page":"149","article-title":"Post-traumatic hypopituitarism.
