A subset analysis would have been helpful to know whether the PRL elevation occurred in their iTBI individuals or in their most severely injured individuals. Our results are DASA-58 consistent with earlier retrospective and prospective studies in children after accidental TBI.48Previous prospective studies have often found resolution of some endocrine abnormalities by 1 year after TBI. In conclusion, children with a history of iTBI display high risk for endocrine dysfunction, including elevated PRL and growth abnormalities. This effect of iTBI has not been well explained in the literature. Larger, multi-center, prospective studies would provide more data to determine the degree of endocrine dysfunction in DASA-58 iTBI. We recommend that any child DASA-58 with a history of iTBI become adopted closely for growth velocity and pubertal changes. If growth velocity is…
