[Symptoms in patients with neck injury after a car crash. A retrospective study].
139 persons who contacted The Regional Hospital, Trondheim, between 1 January and 1 September for whiplash injury caused by a car crash from behind were asked whether they still had problems six months or more after the accident. 51% reported having symptoms and 12% reported serious problems. Five persons were still out of work because of the neck injury. 63% of the questioned persons were female and the percentage of women increased with increasing symptoms. There was no correlation between age and problems. There were more persons without symptoms among office employees (70%), managers/university educated persons (53%) and students/pupils (50%) than among unskilled workers/professional drivers (35%) and housewives/retired persons/pensioners/unemployed (35%).
