A study of over 3,000 athletes examined whether pre-season visual attention testing could identify those at risk for clinically significant concussions. Both traditional and penalized regression models found that prior head injury history and visual attention deficits were associated with worse concussion outcomes.
This consensus study used modified Delphi methodology with UK Head Injury Network specialists to establish evidence-based standards for concussion care structure and processes in England. Final consensus produced 18 statements covering care pathways, prognosis assessment, recovery measures, and outpatient clinic provision to improve healthcare quality and patient outcomes.
This meta-analysis of 16 studies compared two widely-used prognostic models (CRASH and IMPACT) for predicting mortality and functional outcomes in traumatic brain injury patients. Both core models showed comparable predictive accuracy, with no significant differences in area under the curve for mortality or six-month unfavorable outcomes.
This systematic review examined evidence for nutritional and dietary interventions in humans with chronic mild traumatic brain injury or concussion, identifying nine studies across six intervention types (omega-3 fatty acids, melatonin, Enzogenol, MLC901, ketogenic diet, phytocannabinoids). The review found these interventions to be safe and potentially beneficial for cognitive and sleep issues, but emphasized the paucity of human evidence and need for further research due to study heterogeneity.
This clinical review examines mild traumatic brain injury (concussion), which affects millions annually and is increasingly recognized as causing long-lasting functional deficits affecting work and social function. The article discusses epidemiology, common persistent symptoms, and evidence-based treatment strategies, emphasizing early recognition and risk identification for optimal recovery outcomes.
