Abstract
⺠A large cohort of injured people in a road accident is followed-up for several years. ⺠The study gives prevalent rates for diverse consequences, which are uncommon data. ⺠One year after a road accident, pain remains frequent and impairs daily life for most injured people. ⺠An elevated rate of chronic PTSD is observed, specifically in patients with traumatic brain injury. ⺠A non-negligible impact on affective and occupational life is observed, in mild, moderate or severe injured subjects.
