Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients exhibit variable post-injury recovery trajectories. Days at Home (DAH) is a patient-centered measure that captures healthcare transitions and offers a more nuanced understanding of recovery. Here, we use DAH to characterize longterm recovery trajectories for moderate to severe TBI (msTBI) survivors. Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study utilized population health data from Ontario to identify adults sustaining isolated msTBI hospitalized between 2009-2021. DAH were calculated in distinct 30-day intervals from index admission to 3 years post-injury; latent class mixed modeling identified unique recovery trajectories and trajectory attributes were quantified. Results: There were 2,510 patients eligible for latent class analysis. Four DAH trajectories were identified: early recovery (69.9%), intermediate recovery (11.4%), late recovery (2.9%), and poor recovery (15.8%). Patients in the poor recovery group were older, more frail, and had lower admission GCS scores, while those in early recovery exhibited lower acute care needs. Intermediate and late recovery groups exhibited protracted transitions home, with near-complete reintegration by 24 months. A prediction model distinguished unfavorable trajectories with good accuracy (C-index=0.824). Conclusions: Despite high initial institutional care requirements, 85% of patients reintegrated into the community within three years of msTBI. These findings shed light on post-injury care requirements for brain-injured patients.
