Sammanfattning
A study was set up to determine the trends in medical impairment and work disability ratings for persons affected by whiplash associated disorders and other injuries secondary to road traffic collisions, and into the influence of age, gender, professional status, and final medical impairment rating on final work disability. A cross-sectional study was carried out of insurance files of 2,523 subjects in 1989 and 3,223 subjects in 1994 judged to have a permanent medical impairment.
