Health-related quality-of-life and behavioural outcome in survivors of childhood meningitis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Older age and female gender are known factors in the development of persisting post-concussion symptoms (PCS) after mild head injury (MHI), i.e. at 3+ months. Very few studies have examined longer-term symptoms. A recent review, however, established the importance of these variables in permanent PCS (18+ mon...
