چکیده
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.
