OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to confirm the tasks that patients must perform well for early return to work (RTW) following TBI using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale III (WAIS-III). METHODS: In total, 40 male and 13 female patients who suffered from neurobehavioral disabilities following TBI were recruited and classified into two groups: the successfully returned to work group (SRTW-G; n\u200a=\u200a22) and the unsuccessfully returned to work group (USRTW-G; n\u200a=\u200a31). The outcomes assessed by WAIS-III and the time to RTW were compared between the SRTW-G and USRTW-G groups. Multiple logistic regression, multiple regression analysis, and Cox regression were employed to assess differences between the groups. RESULTS: The Comprehension and Letter-Number Sequencing subtests of the WAIS-III were significantly correlated with early RTW more than the other subtests. CONCLUSIONS: We found that, as reflected in the two subtests, patients with TBI must be able to perform well in the following tasks for early RTW: Retention of information for short time periods, information processing, and social judgment based on the knowledge of the patient\u2019s experience.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/wor-213440","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,9]],"date-time":"2021-04-09T12:28:25Z","timestamp":1617971305000},"page":"1101-1111","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Association
