@entity1 @entity131 @entity1545 @entity130
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: To follow-up a population of @entity1 admitted to one Hospital Trust with @entity131 ( @entity131 ), and compare outcomes following mild @entity131 with outcomes following moderate or severe @entity131 . RESEARCH DESIGN: Population-based postal questionnaire survey. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Questionnaires were mailed to parents of all 974 surviving @entity1 on a register of paediatric @entity131 admissions, 525 completed questionnaires were returned (56.2%). Most @entity1 (419) had suffered mild @entity131 , 57 moderate, and 49 severe. MAIN OUTCOMES AND RESULTS: Thirty per cent of parents received no information on @entity130 symptoms, and clinical follow-up was limited. Statistically significant differences were observed between mild and moderate/severe groups for cognitive, social, emotional, and mobility problems. Nevertheless, approximately 20% of the mild group suffered from poor concentration, personality change and educational problems @entity130 . Few schools (20%) made special provision for @entity1 returning after injury. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 can have long-lasting and wide-ranging sequelae following @entity131 . Information should be routinely given to parents and schools after @entity1545 .
