Early information to patients on the prognosis of acute spinal injuries is an important and uneasy task. This retrospective study was undertaken to assess the consequences of this information. It appears that early information involves easier and more confident relationships between patient, nurses and medical staff in the ICU. This early information, despite its difficulty, seems beneficial.
