Popis: | Early neurological indicants based on information from the hospital admission clinical examination were studied in a group of patients who had sustained accident-incurred traumatic head injuries. Patients who had been hospitalized during the 3-year period just preceding the study were recalled and a battery of neuropsychological tests was administered. Early neurological problems were found to have a detrimental effect on subsequent test performance. The results supported the use of these early indicants to make prognostic decisions. |
