Arabic BIVSS Survey Scores for Traumatic Brain Injury Patients and Controls

A 2026 study compared visual symptom burden between 43 adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 54 controls in Qassim, Saudi Arabia, using the 28-item Brain Injury Vision Symptom Survey (BIVSS). Author Nawaf M. Almutairi published the results, including total and eight domain scores for visual clarity, comfort, double vision, light sensitivity, dry eye, depth perception, peripheral vision, and reading. The dataset includes statistical comparisons, effect sizes, and exploratory subgroup analysis of acute versus chronic TBI cohorts.

Use Cases

• Comparing visual symptom profiles between TBI patients and healthy controls based on BIVSS domain scores.
• Assessing the discriminative power of survey total scores for TBI status via logistic regression and ROC analysis.
• Exploring differences in symptom burden between acute and chronic TBI subgroups cross-sectionally.

Strengths

• Includes data from a clearly defined case-control study with 97 total participants (43 TBI, 54 controls).
• Reports specific statistical results, including total score means (27.9 vs. 13.1), p-values (<0.001), and effect sizes (Cohen's d up to 1.15).
• Analyzes eight distinct symptom domains, allowing for granular profiling of visual complaints.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The sample size is relatively small, and subgroup analyses (e.g., acute vs. chronic) are exploratory with limited participants.
