The main research question is: \- Are the Scandinavian guidelines for management of mild and moderate head trauma in children sensitive for patient-important outcomes?

Information on how the recovery period is collected both from medical records \>1 month after the emergency department visit, as well as via electronic questionnaires sent to the guardian at 1 month, 3 months and 4 months after the injury via e-mail and/or text message. Long-term outcome will also be examined (\>6…
