Mild XXXX : a 10-year follow-up.

@entity1 @entity131
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: Long-term consequences of mild @entity131 were investigated based on a 10-year follow-up of @entity1 from a previously-published randomized controlled study of mild @entity131 . One aim was to describe changes over time after mild @entity131 in terms of the extent of persisting post-concussion symptoms, life satisfaction, perceived health, activities of daily living, changes in life roles and sick leave. Another aim was to identify differences between the intervention and control groups. @entity1 : The intervention group comprised 142 @entity1 and the control group 56 @entity1 . METHODS: Postal questionnaires with a response rate of 56%. RESULTS: No differences over time were found for the intervention and control groups in terms of post-concussion symptoms. In the intervention group some variables in life satisfaction, perceived health and daily life were decreased. Some roles had changed over the years for both groups. No other differences between the intervention and control groups were found. However, in both groups sick leave decreased. CONCLUSION: Early individual intervention by a qualified rehabilitation team does not appear to impact on the long-term outcome for @entity1 with symptoms related to mild @entity131 . The status after approximately 3 weeks is indicative of the status after 10 years.
