Objective A systematic review of factors that might be associated with, or influence, clinical recovery from sport-related concussion. Clinical recovery was defined functionally as a return to normal activities, including school and sports, following injury. Design Systematic review. Data sources PubMed, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, Scopus and Web of Science. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Studies published by June of 2016 that addressed clinical recovery from concussion. Results A total of 7617 articles were identified using the search strategy, and 101 articles were included. There are major methodological differences across the studies. Many different clinical outcomes were measured, such as symptoms, cognition, balance, return to school and return to sports, although symptom outcomes were the most frequently measured. The most consistent predictor of slower recovery from concussion is the severity of a person’s acute and subacute symptoms. The development of subacute problems with headaches or depression is likely a risk factor for persistent symptoms lasting greater than a month. Those with a preinjury history of mental health problems appear to be at greater risk for having persistent symptoms. Those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or learning disabilities do not appear to be at substantially greater risk. There is some evidence that the teenage years, particularly high school, might be the most vulnerable time period for having persistent symptoms—with greater risk for girls than boys. Conclusion The literature on clinical recovery from sport-related concussion has grown dramatically, is mostly mixed, but some factors have emerged as being related to outcome.

ABSTRACT Primary Objective: This study reviewed the available sideline Sport Concussion Assessment Tool-Third Edition (SCAT3) performance of players who were removed from play using the ‘concussion interchange rule’ (CIR), the available video footage of these incidences, and associated return to play and concussion diagnosis decisions. Research Design: Descriptive, observational case series. Methods and Procedures: Data were collected from all NRL players who used the CIR during the 2014 season. Main Outcomes and Results: Complete SCAT3 and video analysis data were available for 38 (23%) of 167 uses of the concussion interchange rule, of which 20 (52.6%) players were medically diagnosed with concussion. Those with video evidence of unresponsiveness performed more poorly on the modified Balance Error Scoring System (M-BESS; p = .04; Cohen’s d = .69) and reported greater symptoms (p = .03; d = .51). Similarly, players with a vacant stare reported greater symptoms (p = .05; d = .78). Those who demonstrated three signs (unresponsiveness, vacant stare and gait ataxia) performed more poorly on the M-BESS (p = .03; d = 1.4) and reported greater symptoms than those with no observable signs (p = .03; d = 1.4). Conclusions: The SCAT3 is sensitive to the acute effects of concussion in professional athletes; however, a minority of injured athletes might go undetected by this test.

Individuals who are injured in the workplace typically have a greater risk of delayed return to work (RTW) and other poor health outcomes compared to those not injured at work. It is not known whether these differences hold true for mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBI). The present study examined differences associated with workplace and non-workplace MTBI upon intake to a specialty MTBI clinic, their outcomes, and risk factors that influence RTW. Slow-to-recover participants were recruited from consecutive referrals to four outpatient MTBI clinics from March 2015 to February 2017. Two clinics treat Worker’s Compensation claimants and two clinics serve patients with non-work related injuries in the publically funded health care system. Of 273 eligible patients, 102 completed an initial study assessment (M age = 41.2 years, SD age = 11.7; 54% women) at an average of 2–3 months post injury. Participants were interviewed about their MTBI and completed a battery of standardized questionnaires and performance validity testing. Outcomes, including RTW, were assessed via telephone follow-up 4–5 months later. Workplace injuries comprised 45.1% of the sample. The workplace MTBI group had a greater proportion of men and lower education levels compared to the non-workplace MTBI group. The two groups had a comparable post-concussion symptom burden and performance validity test failure rate. Workplace MTBI was associated with greater post-traumatic stress symptoms. Fifteen patients (14.7%) were lost to follow-up. There were no workplace/non-workplace MTBI differences in RTW outcome at 6–7 months post injury. Of the entire sample, 42.5% of patients had full RTW, 18.4% had partial RTW, and 39.1% had no RTW. Greater post-concussion symptom burden was most predictive of no RTW at follow-up. There was no evidence that the workplace and non-workplace MTBI groups had different risk factors associated with prolonged work absence. Despite systemic differences in compensation and health care access, the workplace and non-workplace MTBI groups were similar at clinic intake and indistinguishable at follow-up, 6–7 months post injury.

Having a preexisting migraine disorder might be a risk factor for a prolonged recovery following a sport-related concussion. We examined whether having a migraine history was associated with a prolonged return to academics and athletics following a concussion. High school and collegiate athletes (n = 1265; 42% female) who sustained a sport-related concussion were monitored by athletic trainers using a web-based surveillance system that collects information about concussion recovery. Nonparametric Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests (KS) were used to compare days to return to academics/athletics across groups due to non-normally distributed outcome variables and unequal distributions of scores between groups. Chi-squared tests were used to examine the proportion of players who had not returned to academics/athletics at 7, 14, and 21 days post-injury stratified by self-reported migraine history. There were 117 athletes (9.2%) who reported a preinjury migraine history. Athletes with a history of migraine took a median of 6 days to return to academics (mean [M] = 10.6, standard deviation [SD] = 14.2) and 15.5 days to return to athletics (M = 23.8, SD = 30.8), while those with no migraine history took a median of 5 days to return to academics (M = 7.5, SD = 10.9) and 14 days to return to athletics (M = 19.4, SD = 19.4). There were no statistically significant differences in days to return to school or athletics between the groups (KS p > 0.05). However, a lower percentage of athletes with a history of migraine had returned to school after 7 days (57% vs. 68%, χ2 = 5.53, p = 0.02), 14 days (75% vs. 88%, χ2 = 14.21, p < 0.001), and 21 days post-injury (89% vs. 94%, χ2 = 4.90, p = 0.03). Stratifying the analyses by sex showed that this effect was significant in girls and women with preexisting migraines, but not boys and men with preexisting migraines. There were no group differences in recovery rates when examining return to athletics. Athletes with a preinjury migraine history may be at an elevated risk for a protracted return to school after concussion, especially girls and women.

Abstract Objective: The current study examined the effect of depression on cognitive test performance in a sample of adults seeking treatment for a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). We hypothesized that patients with greater depressive symptoms would perform worse on tasks of fluid cognition compared to those without depression, after controlling for potential confounds. Method: Patients (N = 76) completed a brief cognitive test battery (NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery; NIHTB-CB) and a depression screening questionnaire (PHQ-9) at 11.7-weeks post injury (SD = 6.3 range 2–26). Cognitive scores were adjusted for age, education, gender, and race/ethnicity. Depressive symptoms were examined continuously and dichotomized as: (1) total PHQ-9 score of ≥ 10, the optimal cut-off for Major Depressive Disorder caseness from prior research, and (2) five or more symptoms of depression, including either depressed mood or anhedonia (i.e. DSM-5-based definition). Results: Twenty-seven patients (35.5%) met DSM-5-based criteria for depression and 42 (55.3%) met criteria based on PHQ-9 > 10. Depression symptom severity correlated with lower fluid cognition composite scores [r = −.22, p = .05] and contributed to the prediction of fluid cognition performance in a model that controlled for time since injury and crystallized cognitive abilities [F(3, 72) = 7.49, p < .001; R2 = 20.6%]. Examining specific NIHTB-CB fluid subtests, the largest group differences were seen on processing speed (d = .40–.49), cognitive flexibility (d = .32–.36), and episodic memory (d = .20–.34). Depression severity was strongly associated with overall post-concussion symptom burden (r = .77, p < .001). Conclusion: Depression is a common comorbidity and an important factor to consider when interpreting neurocognitive test performance in adults with concussion in a clinical setting.
