• Mild TBI (mTBI) accounts for ~81% of head injuries in emergency departments (EDs) but is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. • Many patients show transient post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) an an acute transient cognitive dysfunction that consists of difficulty in acquiring new information and disorientation. • PTA is among the strongest predictors of cognitive and functional outcome (Ponsford et al., 2016). • No validated Italian scale exists to assess PTA.

Abstract
• Mild TBI (mTBI) accounts for ~81% of head injuries in emergency departments (EDs) but is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. • Many patients show transient post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) an an acute transient cognitive dysfunction that consists of difficulty in acquiring new information and disorientation. • PTA is among the strongest predictors of cognitive and functional outcome (Ponsford et al., 2016). • No validated Italian scale exists to assess PTA.Pubblicazioni consigliate
