| During their stay on the Emergency Department a lot of data is gained.Six to eight years after the initial trauma a number of questionnaires and scoring systems are fulfilled and physical examination is done. The questionnaires used to measure quality of life are the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4.0) and the EuroQoL 6D (EQ 6D). The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) and the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) are used to measure the level of functioning on the ICF-domains *activity* and *participation*. The American Medical Association guides (AMA guides) are used to measure level of functioning on the ICF-domain *body function and structure*.
