NOTE. Values are averaged z-scores presented as mean ± SD. Of those that completed the visit, the following numbers of subjects were excluded from specific domains because they were missing >50% of the variables for the domain: At 1-month post-injury, 1 was excluded from Processing Speed/Executive Function, 7 were excluded from Verbal Fluency, and 2 were excluded from Memory. At 6-months post-injury, 1 was excluded from Memory.
