Table 1_Visual symptom burden after traumatic brain injury: a case-control evaluation of t

Nawaf M. Almutairi's dataset compares visual symptoms between adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and controls using the Arabic Brain Injury Vision Symptom Survey (BIVSS). It contains data from 43 TBI participants and 54 controls in Qassim, Saudi Arabia, collected in a prospective cross-sectional study. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-28.

Use Cases

• Compare total and domain-specific visual symptom scores between TBI patients and controls based on the BIVSS survey.
• Identify symptom domains with the largest differences between groups, such as visual comfort and reading.
• Assess the discriminative ability of the BIVSS total score for TBI status via logistic regression and ROC analysis.
• Explore cross-sectional differences in symptom burden between acute (≤30 days) and chronic (>30 days) TBI subgroups.

Strengths

• Includes data from 97 total participants (43 TBI, 54 controls) with age and gender similarity between groups.
• Provides scores across eight specific symptom domains: visual clarity, visual comfort, double vision, light sensitivity, dry eye, depth perception, peripheral vision, and reading.
• Reports statistical results including Welch’s t-tests, Cohen’s d effect sizes, and logistic regression odds ratios.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Domain-level analyses were exploratory and uncorrected for multiple comparisons, limiting inferential strength.
• The sample size is relatively small, particularly for the acute TBI subgroup analysis (n=9).
