- W2247998940 abstract "INTRODUCTION: Most patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with minor head injury (HI) can be discharged, provided a caregiver is present and careful discharge instructions are given. The study ED uses an advice leaflet with verbal reinforcement to patients and caregivers detailing post-discharge instructions and warning symptoms of worsening HI. We aim to evaluate local patients' and caregivers' compliance to discharge instructions and their ability to recall HI advice. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted in an adult ED between April 10, 2006 and May 1, 2006. All patients with minor HI discharged from the ED or its 24-hour observation ward were included in the study. A telephone survey was conducted within 48 hours of discharge using a standardised questionnaire. RESULTS: During the study period, 292 patients had HI, of which 182 were eligible for the study. 71 were uncontactable and one refused to participate, leaving 110 patients in the study. Patients' age ranged between 7 and 109 years (median 41 years). 100 confirmed receiving HI advice (57 percent received by patients, 26 percent caregivers, 16 percent both patients and caregivers). 29 percent of respondents reported non-compliance to discharge advice. Mean HI-symptom recall score was 1.9 (SD 1.6) (total 9 symptoms). 30 percent cited other symptoms not part of the HI advice, which they believed necessitated a return to the ED. Recall scores were not statistically different, regardless of mode of instruction (verbal or printed) or the recipient (patient, caregiver or both). CONCLUSION: Our study raises concerns about the reliability of discharge advice for minor HI patients. Language: en" @default.
