Cognitive and Behavioral Outcome Following Mild Traumatic Head Injury in Children
Abstract
Objectives To investigate outcome in children with mild traumatic head injury (THI) at 1 week and 3 months postinjury and to identify factors associated with persisting problems. Design Postconcussional symptomatology, behavior ratings, and neuropsychological test performance were examined at 1 week and 3 months postinjury. Setting Participants were recruited from successive presentations to emergency departments of two major hospitals. Participants 130 Children with mild THI were compared with 96 children having other minor injuries as controls. Results Children with mild THI experienced headaches, dizziness, and fatigue but exhibited no cognitive impairments, relative to controls, at 1 week postinjury. By 3 months, symptoms had resolved. However, 17% of children showed significant ongoing problems. They were more likely to have a history of previous head injury, learning difficulties, neurological or psychiatric problems, or family stressors. Conclusions Persisting problems following mild head injury in children are more common in those with previous head injury, preexisting learning difficulties, or neurological, psychiatric, or family problems. These "at-risk" children should be identified in the emergency department and monitored.

“This investigation was limited to patients who had at least complicated mild or moderate TBI (as evidenced by the presence of intracranial lesions on neuroimaging), because uncomplicated mild TBI is typically not expected to be associated with significant lasting cognitive impairment in children who do not have compromised psychosocial backgrounds (Ponsford et al., 1999; Satz et al., 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
