4 Saskatchewan Population: 1,000,000; Economy is Agriculture, mining and knowledge

5 City of Saskatoon Population: 200,000; Economy is University and Technology based. Saskatoon is Cree for berries by the river.

6 Royal University Hospital Main Research Centre in Saskatchewan

7 Saskatchewan Winters are cold, often -30 C or colder!

8 Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) Provides all traffic injury insurance in Sask. Pays for all hospital care and ambulatory care by registered health professionals. Most onen an insurance claim is opened for an injury by submission of a treatment claim by the health care prac))oner. Some)mes an injury claim is opened by the claimant without treatment.

9 SGI Outcomes Study Purpose of Study: To determine the clinical effec)veness of rehabilita)on programs for pa)ents aner traffic injuries.

10 Study Popula)on Collision Dates (incep)on) 16,167 Claims Dec. 1, 1997 to Nov. 30, 1999 Inclusion Criteria: 1. Incep)on cohort of all Saskatchewan residents requiring treatment for a road traffic injury. 2. Includes adults 18 years or older. 3. Claim filed within 42 days of the injury. 2,095 incomplete claims 1,721 under 18 years 1,453 out of province 792 injured before study 456 others (not specified) 352 died 207 lawyers refused 295 WCB claims 134 duplicate claims 98 unable to answer (injury) 71 non- English 41 unable to answer (disability) 25 accommoda)on files 8,634 Eligible Claims

11 Design Popula)on- based, incep)on cohort of all treated adult traffic injuries in Saskatchewan over 2 years. Subjects Collision Dates (incep)on) N=8,634 Dec. 1, 1997 to Nov. 30, 1999 Index ques)onnaire (Proof of Claim) and follow up by computer- aided telephone interviews (CATI). IQ F- U 1 F- U 2 F- U 3 F- U 4 F- U 5 Exit 0 6 weeks 3 months 6 months 9 months one year Feb. 5, 2001

12 Measurements 1. Baseline Ques)onnaire (Proof of Claim): Sociodemographics, collision- related factors, injury- related symptoms, pain measures (intensity and loca)on), depression, comorbid health condi)ons, general health (before and aner the injury), previous injuries, work (status and sa)sfac)on) and expecta)on for recovery. 2. CATI follow- up interviews: Self- assessment of recovery, pain intensity, coping with pain (PMI), ac)vity limita)ons and disability, symptoms, depression (CES- D), health- related quality of life (SF- 12), health provision and work status.

13 Primary Outcome 1. Self- reported recovery: How well do you feel you are recovered from your injuries? Are you All beier (cured) Feeling quite a bit of improvement Feeling some improvement Feeling no improvement GeCng a liile worse GeCng much worse Recovered defined as all beier (cured), or quite a bit of improvement.

14 Self-Reported Recovery Index of recovery Neck pain (NRS 0-10) 6 weeks Follow-up 12 weeks follow-up 24 weeks follow-up 36 weeks follow-up One year follow-up Recovered Not recovered Pain-related disability (PDI 0-70) Recovered Not recovered Depression (CES-D 16) Recovered Not recovered

15 CES-D

16 CES-D Total score is 60. Score of 16 suggests depression.
