Fig 2 The physical and mental health status on the SF-36 PCS (A) and MCS (B) oblique scales from shortly after the return home (t1) (median time, n=102), and at 1 year (t2) (n=100), 2 years (t3) (n=99), and 5 years (t4) (n=78) postinjury. Mean scores and ±2 SDs. The general population mean scores equal 50 points, indicated by the dashed line, and 1 SD equals 10 points.
