Abstract

Objective: To examine sociodemographic differences in concussion symptom reporting, among young children by race/ethnicity, sex, and age at initial presentation to guide potential interventions for children from different backgrounds.

Method: Participants were elementary-age children (ages 5 to 12 years; n = 392) who sustained a concussion within 30 days of specialty concussion clinic visit. Independent variables were self-defined race/ethnic group, participants' sex, and age. Dependent variables were number and severity of 22 post-concussion symptoms as measured by the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool5^® (SCAT-5) Symptom Evaluation.

Results: Analyses of variance (ANOVAs) showed no differences in reporting of symptoms across race/ethnic or age groups. There was no interaction between race/ethnic, sex and age groups. Females in this sample reported a greater number and severity of concussion symptoms than males.

Conclusions: Concussion symptom endorsement on the SCAT-5 Symptom Evaluation did not appear to be affected by race/ethnicity or age. However, consistent with existing literature, females reported higher endorsement of concussion symptoms than males and therefore may merit special consideration in evaluation of symptoms. Future research should examine the intersection of other sociodemographic variables with race/ethnicity and should consider the influence of respondent (child vs. parent) in studies of this age cohort.

儿童SCAT-5脑震荡症状的种族/民族、性别和年龄差异

目的：研究不同种族/民族、性别和初诊年龄的幼儿脑震荡症状报告的社会人口统计学差异，以指导不同背景儿童的潜在干预措施。方法：参与者为小学年龄儿童(5 - 12岁；N = 392)，在专业脑震荡诊所就诊后30天内遭受脑震荡。自变量为自定义的种族/民族、参与者的性别和年龄。因变量是通过运动脑震荡评估工具5®（SCAT-5）症状评估测量的22种脑震荡后症状的数量和严重程度。结果：方差分析（anova）显示，不同种族/民族或年龄组的症状报告没有差异。种族/民族、性别和年龄组之间没有相互作用。在这个样本中，女性报告的脑震荡症状的数量和严重程度都高于男性。结论：SCAT-5症状评估中的脑震荡症状背书似乎不受种族/民族或年龄的影响。然而，与现有文献一致，女性对脑震荡症状的认可程度高于男性，因此在评估症状时可能需要特别考虑。未来的研究应检查其他社会人口变量与种族/民族的交集，并应考虑受访者（儿童与父母）在该年龄队列研究中的影响。

期刊介绍： Applied Neuropsychology: Child publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in children. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of child patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
