Abstract

Background: Conducting mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) longitudinal studies across multiple sites is a challenging endeavor which has been made more challenging because of COVID-19.

Objective: This article briefly describes several concerns that need to be addressed during the conduct of research to account for COVID-19's impact.

Methods: The recent actions and steps taken by the Long-term Impact of Military-relevant Brain Injury Consortium (LIMBIC)-Chronic Effects of Neurotrauma Consortium (CENC) researchers are reviewed.

Results: COVID-19's effects on the conduct of LIMBIC-CENC for the short-term and long-term were considered to ensure the study continued safely for participants and researchers. COVID-19 may have long-lasting health and especially neurological effects which may confound the quantitative and qualitative measures of this any comparable longitudinal studies.

Conclusion: The recognition, understanding, and preparation of COVID-19's impact on a longitudinal military and veteran mTBI population is crucial to successfully conducting LIMBIC-CENC and similar neurological research studies. Developing a plan based on the best available information while remaining agile as new information about COVID-19 emerge, is essential. Research presented in this special issue underscores the complexity of studying long-term effects of mTBI, in a population exposed to and symptomatic from COVID-19.

LIMBIC-CENC：在 COVID-19 大流行期间成功开展纵向 mTBI 研究。

背景：在多个地点开展轻度创伤性脑损伤（mTBI）纵向研究是一项具有挑战性的工作，而 COVID-19 的出现使这项工作变得更具挑战性：本文简要介绍了在开展研究过程中需要解决的几个问题，以说明 COVID-19 的影响：方法：回顾军事相关脑损伤长期影响联合会（LIMBIC）-神经创伤长期影响联合会（CENC）研究人员最近采取的行动和措施：结果：考虑了 COVID-19 对 LIMBIC-CENC 短期和长期研究的影响，以确保参与者和研究人员能够安全地继续开展研究。COVID-19可能会对健康，尤其是神经系统产生长期影响，这可能会对任何可比纵向研究的定量和定性测量产生混淆：认识、理解并准备好 COVID-19 对纵向军人和退伍军人 mTBI 群体的影响对于成功开展 LIMBIC-CENC 和类似的神经学研究至关重要。根据现有的最佳信息制定计划，同时在 COVID-19 的新信息出现时保持敏捷是至关重要的。本特刊中介绍的研究强调了在接触 COVID-19 并出现症状的人群中研究 mTBI 长期影响的复杂性。

期刊介绍： NeuroRehabilitation, an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, publishes manuscripts focused on scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. We publish unsolicited papers detailing original work/research that covers the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease and other neurological disorders. We also publish thematically organized issues that focus on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed.
