Two groups, each of 21 cases of severe blunt head injury, were compared. Patients in one group were pursuing claims for financial compensation while patients in the other were not. Patients were assessed on cognitive tests, and both patients and relatives were interviewed at 3, 6 and 12 months after injury. There were few differences between claimants and non-claimants: post-concussional symptoms were common in both, cognitive performance was equal, and the reports given by relatives of changes in the patients were very similar. However, the reports given by patients themselves differed with claimants reporting slightly more symptoms than non-claimants.
对两组各21例重度钝性头部损伤患者进行了比较。一组患者正在寻求经济赔偿,而另一组患者则没有。对患者进行了认知测试评估,并在受伤后3个月、6个月和12个月对患者及其亲属进行了访谈。索赔者和非索赔者之间几乎没有差异:两组患者脑震荡后症状均很常见,认知表现相当,亲属报告的患者变化情况非常相似。然而,患者自己报告的情况有所不同,索赔者报告的症状略多于非索赔者。
