Abstract
This research is a longitudinal and transversal study on admitted patients who suffered a MHI. The criteria for including the patients in the study are GCS of 14–15 and no other associate conditions. The study is revealing the changes occurred in 12 months after MHI with individual visits at 3 months. The final goal is to make comparison of these changes, the outcomes and the MHI consequences in both adults and children in order to evaluate the quality of life.
