No impact of early intervention on late outcome after minimal, mild and moderate head injury

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on outcome after minimal, mild and moderate head injury. METHODS: Three hundred and twenty six patients underwent stratified randomization to an intervention group (n = 163) or a control group (n = 163). Every second patient was alloc...

description OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on outcome after minimal, mild and moderate head injury. METHODS: Three hundred and twenty six patients underwent stratified randomization to an intervention group (n = 163) or a control group (n = 163). Every second patient was allocated to the intervention group. Participants in this group were offered a cognitive oriented consultation two weeks after the injury, while subjects allocated to the control group were not. Both groups were invited to follow up 3 and 12 months after injury. RESULTS: A total of 50 (15%) patients completed the study (intervention group n = 22 (13%), control group n = 28 (17%), not significant). There were no statistically significant differences between the intervention group and the control group. CONCLUSIONS: There was no effect on outcomes from an early educational intervention two weeks after head injury.
