Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Screening Tool for Cognitive, emotional and social consequences of traumatic
brain injury in children.
Secondary outcome
Neurocognitive functioning: neuropsychological tests, school performance and
professional care needed.
Background summary
Each year 12.00 children are admitted to the hospital due to a mild brain
injury. The term mild has the connotation that the consequence are minimal,
however this is probably not true as 10% of these children have stil problems
on the longterm. It is stil unknown which children are at risk for longterm
consequences. In this study we want to identify risk factors for long term
consequence of mild traumatic brain injury in children.
Study objective
First objective is to indicate neurocognitive outcome after mild traumatic
brain injury in children. Second objective is to indicate prognostic factors
for negative neurocognitive outcome.
Study design
A longitudinal, prognostic study
Study burden and risks
The burden of this study is minimal. The neuropsychological assessment takes 90
minutes and based on experience we can conclude that children like to perform
these tasks. Parents and teachers fill in questionnaires, which takes 15
minutes.
