This study sought to investigate gender effects on the consistency between subjective memory complaints and memory test performance in patients with complicated mTBI. This study taking a sample of the clinical samples, 478 of the head-damage diagnosis codes were included in a medical center in the southern country from 101 to 104 years. Of these, 81 agreed to participate in the neuropsychological assessment. Research tools included Physical and Mental Health Status Scale for assessing subjective memory complaints and the Guo's Verbal Memory Scale (GVM), the Scale of Instrumental Verbal Working Memory of Daily Life (SIVWM-DL), and Comprehensive Non-verbal Memory Test Battery (CNMT) for assessing memory function. A total of 74 subjects completed the study, 91% of the subjects had different levels of memory complaints. All subjects are in a normal memory range. In our study, most of the subjects had inconsistencies between subjective memory complaints and memory test performance. The consistency between memory complaining and test performance was lower for female than for male. The memory performance of male patients is more consistent with the neurophysiological variables at the time of injury than female. Female subjects have a higher degree of subjective memory complaints, and subjective memory complaints are less consistent with test performance.
