The frequency of insurance cases following traffic accidents involving the whiplash mechanism is increasing in Norway. The economic consequences are obviously great, both for the individual patient and for society. Declarations by medical specialists may be of vital importance when assessing the degree of medical invalidity. We have investigated some of the information provided by 27 patients who were submitted for assessment of medical invalidity after traffic accidents. In eight of these cases, the information in reports from their usual doctor or physiotherapist varied from the case history described by the patient. In all these cases, a previous history of neck pain was found in the health reports, but was not mentioned, and was partly denied, by the patients. Our results underline the importance of supplementary information.
在挪威，涉及挥鞭样损伤机制的交通事故后保险理赔案件的发生率正在上升。这一情况对个体患者和社会都造成了明显的巨大经济后果。在评估医疗残疾程度时，医学专家的声明可能至关重要。我们调查了27名在交通事故后提交医疗残疾评估的患者所提供的一些信息。在其中8个案例中，他们的普通医生或物理治疗师报告中的信息与患者描述的病史有所不同。在所有这些案例中，健康报告中都发现了既往颈部疼痛史，但患者未提及且部分予以否认。我们的结果强调了补充信息的重要性。
