This is a comparative study design conducted in Kandou General Hospital, Manado, North Sulawesi in September – November 2014 involving of 19 cases and 37 control subjects. The executive function examinations that significanly associated to NO levels in mild-moderate TBI are MoCA, TMT-A and TMT-B (p < 0.05). The results provides evidence for a prevention againts the risk for neurobehavior disorders in mild-moderate TBI.
