Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine academic achievement, absenteeism and school accommodations following adolescent sport-related concussion (SRC).

Methods: A case-series was conducted among grade 8-12 students who suffered an SRC. The primary outcomes were change in pre- and post-concussion overall, core report card grade point average (GPA) and absenteeism due to concussion. The most helpful school accommodations were tabulated.

Results: Pre- and post-concussion GPA was obtained from 33 students - 16 (48%) developed persistent post-concussion symptoms (symptoms lasting >4 weeks). There was no significant difference in pre- and post-concussion grades among students with a SRC for overall (p = 0.75) or core (p = 0.56) GPA. The median number of missed school days was 4 (interquartile range [IQR]: 2-8). Allowing for physical and cognitive rest was identified as the most helpful accommodation (30%).

Conclusion: Larger studies should investigate the role that school accommodations and development of persistent post-concussion symptoms have on academic outcomes.

青少年运动相关脑震荡后的学业成绩和住宿:一项试点研究。

目的:本研究的目的是研究青少年运动相关脑震荡(SRC)后的学习成绩、缺勤和学校住宿。方法:对8-12年级的学生进行了一系列的病例分析。主要结果是脑震荡前后总体、核心报告卡平均绩点(GPA)和脑震荡缺勤率的变化。最有用的学校住宿被列了出来。结果:33名学生获得了脑震荡前后的GPA，其中16名(48%)出现了持续性脑震荡后症状(症状持续>4周)。总体GPA (p = 0.75)和核心GPA (p = 0.56)得分为SRC的学生在脑震荡前和脑震荡后的成绩没有显著差异。缺课天数中位数为4天(四分位数间距[IQR]: 2-8)。允许身体和认知休息被认为是最有帮助的调节(30%)。结论:更大规模的研究应该调查学校住宿和持续性脑震荡后症状的发展对学业成绩的作用。
