[Hospital rehabilitation of patients with severe traumatic brain injury. I: Current status and organization in Denmark and abroad].

New in-patient rehabilitation methods for the treatment of patients with severe traumatic brain injury have been introduced in recent years. These methods are primarily characterized by very early start of rehabilitation, by being organized, specialized and intensive, and by a multidisciplinary approach. The article gives a general description of the present in-patient rehabilitation in Denmark, and outlines the principles of new models introduced internationally. In conclusion, the in-patient rehabilitation offered in Denmark to patients with severe traumatic brain injury is characterized by a lack in the general planning and organization of this service, and by being non-specialized, non-intensive, and initiated at a late stage.

[Hospital rehabilitation of patients with severe brain injuries. II: Prognosis and effect of early intensive, specialized rehabilitation].

This article describes the prognosis of patients with severe traumatic brain injury, including patients in long-standing coma and persistent vegetative state, and presents the scientific evidence of the effect of organized, specialized, multidisciplinary, early and intensive rehabilitation of patients with severe traumatic brain injury. It is concluded that the introduction of newly developed models for the rehabilitation of patients with severe traumatic brain injury in Denmark may lead to a substantial improvement in outcome, and may also be cost efficient.
