Anonymous linking fields are used to link child and maternal health, environment and education records. Data from WECC were extracted for children born between September 1998 and August 2001. A Generalised Estimating Equation model, adjusted for clustering based on the maternal identifier as well as other key confounders, was used to establish the association between childhood head injury and performance on the Key Stage 1 (KS1) National Curriculum assessment administered to children aged 5\u20137\u2005years. Head injury was defined as an emergency admission for &gt;24\u2005h for concussion, skull fracture or intracranial injury prior to KS1 assessment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of the 101\u2005892 eligible children, KS1 results were available for 90\u2005661 (89%), and 290 had sustained a head injury.
