Age in years, M (SD) | 33.1 (5.6) | 31.7 (6.8) | t(31) = 0.7, P = 0.5 |
Males, no. (%) | 14 (87.5) | 17 (100.0) | χ2(1) = 2.3, P = 0.1 |
Education in years, M (SD) | 15.6 (2.4) | 14.7 (1.6) | t(31) = 1.2, P = 0.2 |
Blast exposure or TBI to scan interval in months, M (SD) | 93.3 (34.6) | 81.0 (40.4) | t(31) = 0.9, P = 0.4 |
PCL-M score, M (SD) | 37.6 (12.6) | 40.2 (13.2) | t(31) = −0.6, P = 0.6 |
Individuals with LOC, no. (%) | 7 (41.2) | ||

Note: For the control group, the scan interval indicates the time from blast exposure to scan, whereas for the mTBI group, the scan interval indicates the time from blast-related mTBI to scan. mTBI=mild traumatic brain injury; PCL-M=PTSD Checklist-Military version.
