    Abstract

    Intermediate (0-60 ms) and long latency (0-500 ms) somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) patterns were compared in terms of their relationship to degree of clinical disability in severe traumatic brain injury patients. Long latency (LL) SEP patterns correlated significantly with clinical disability as measured by the Disability Rating scale while intermediate latency (IL) SEP patterns did not. Evoked potential abnormality (EPA) scores based upon LL SEP patterns appear better able to reflect extent and severity of brain dysfunction and overall clinical condition than do IL SEP patterns for severe traumatic brain injury patients.
