do u just want another word for "sustained"?

anonymous · Answer

yes

zaraxx · Answer

"caused" could work

zaraxx · Answer

but you'd probably want to say "caused by"

anonymous · Answer

but... I think I found a way to reformulate it. How about: "caused by other injuries"... Oh, well, you said it @zaraxx

This is an article from yesterday: "Teens who reported having a traumatic brain injury in the past year were seven times more likely to have consumed at least five energy drinks in the past week than those teens with no history of traumatic brain injury, according to a new study." this means that TBI may not be caused by other injuries.

that's exactly what I am writing about XD

mathmate · Answer

You seem to have different information!
Perhaps a little research to clear that up before actually writing.

anonymous · Answer

Not really... It says it pretty much word per word...

mathmate · Answer

But the article I quoted is not comparing the right thing, with drinks and without history of TBI, so they are not mutually exclusive.
