Abstract

Objective: To describe the relationship between sleep-symptom severity and number of days to return to play following concussion in student-athletes.

Design: Case series.

Setting: A D1 NCAA university athletic department (institutional care).

Participants: The study enrolled 84 varsity athletes who suffered a sport-related concussion at the university from 2015 to 2021.

Independent variables: Prior concussion(s), total symptom burden, and sleep symptomatology (sleeping more, sleeping less, trouble falling asleep, drowsiness, and fatigue) scores as reported using Post-Concussion Symptom Scale from the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT).

Main outcome measure: The number of days an athlete took to return to play following concussion.

Results: Individuals who reported trouble falling asleep, sleeping less, fatigue, and drowsiness took significantly longer to return to play following concussion than individuals who did not report such symptoms (F_1,102 = 34.12, p < 0.0001).

Conclusions: Sleep symptomatology present after concussion is predictive of days until return to sport. This study demonstrates the importance of sleep symptomatology post-concussion for athletes.

脑震荡后睡眠症状对大学生运动员重返运动的影响。

目的：探讨学生运动员脑震荡后睡眠症状严重程度与恢复运动天数的关系。设计：案例系列。环境：D1 NCAA大学体育部门（机构护理）。参与者：该研究招募了84名校队运动员，他们在2015年至2021年期间在该大学遭受了与运动相关的脑震荡。自变量：先前脑震荡，总症状负担，睡眠症状（睡得多，睡得少，入睡困难，嗜睡和疲劳）评分，使用脑震荡后立即评估和认知测试（ImPACT）的脑震荡后症状量表报告。主要结局指标：运动员在脑震荡后恢复比赛所需的天数。结果：与没有报告这些症状的个体相比，报告入睡困难、睡眠不足、疲劳和困倦的个体在脑震荡后恢复比赛所需的时间要长得多（f1102 = 34.12, p）。结论：脑震荡后出现的睡眠症状可预测恢复运动前的天数。本研究证明了脑震荡后睡眠症状学对运动员的重要性。
