Description
Sports-related concussions (SRC) are defined as mild traumatic brain injury during athletics resulting in the onset of neurological impairments and a constellation of symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, and lethargy. In the United States, over 44 million children participate annually in sports with an estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million suffering SRC. Our aim in this study is to stratify the SRC incidence within our metropolitan pediatric population by type of sport, time of year, and setting (i.e., practice vs game) to target opportunities for prevention and detection. We hypothesize temporal and situational injury patterns will vary by sport. We performed a retrospective chart review of patients
