The manuscripts in this special issue represent findings from clinical data sets based on consensus-derived common data elements collected from the 2015-2016 to 2019-2020 sport seasons that include 1311 cases of collegiate athletes diagnosed with concussion. Using these data, LIMBIC MATARS investigators addressed hypotheses that included (1) factors, including access to athletic trainers, biological sex, and ADHD, that may influence recovery from concussion, (2) predisposing risks associated with reinjury after return-to-sport, such as sport type, and (3) therapeutic targets for intervention including language barriers, physical activity, return-to-learn, and sleep.

HIA and RTP protocol understanding was not correlated with concussion history (p = 0.41). International rugby experience and trust regarding MLR support of the following protocols and opposing team medical staff practices varied in their relationship to HIA understanding. Trust that all MLR teams follow the same protocols was positively correlated with all HIA questions (ps < 0.03). No HIA questions were correlated with trust in their own team's medical staff. All trust questions were significantly correlated with RTP process understanding. Qualitative analysis identified four HIA- and RTP-related themes: education needs, staffing needs, HIA criticisms, and importance of player safety.Conclusion: International playing experience and greater trust in the MLR and league stakeholders were associated with greater player understanding of the HIA and RTP protocols.

Several injury and demographic features were examined for association with depression.Results: Over 4 years, 1130 individuals were recruited of whom 916 attended at 1 year; after 10 years, 552 attended and 210 had died. 154 (17%) of the cohort was lost to follow-up.

Dimensionality, reliability, person separation index, and differential item functioning (DIF) of the DASS-21 were examined using Rasch analysis.Results: Initial analysis of the complete 21-item DASS showed poor overall fit due to problems with individual items. Fit to the Rasch model was excellent when treated as three composite scores. The stress subscale demonstrated adequate model fit, dimensionality and good reliability. For anxiety, fit was not good, reliability was unsatisfactory and DIF was evident on one item. When this item was removed, fit to the model was still inadequate as was reliability. DIF was also evident for depression, but when this item was removed, fit to the model was adequate.Conclusion: The DASS-21 is a psychometrically sound measure of distress and stress for adults seeking treatment following mTBI. Ordinal to interval score conversion tables are provided to increase the precision of measurement. When assessing depression in a mTBI population, a 6-item depression subscale is recommended.

The association between ACEs and brain injury was not contingent on sports involvement; females not involved in sports had the strongest association between ACEs and brain injury (χ2 (10938, 10951) = 99.40, p < 0.001, R2 = .03) compared to sports-involved females and males. For children under 12 years old with brain injury, the relations between experiencing at least one ACE and health and educational outcomes were significant for all health and educational outcomes (p < 0.001).Conclusions: Caregiver education on and screening for brain injury in families experiencing ACEs would likely support more timely identification and management of co-occurring brain injury in this population. Further research is needed to identify prevention, assessment, and management strategies that would be specifically beneficial to children at risk for co-occurring brain injury and ACEs to improve health and educational outcomes.","PeriodicalId":9082,"journal":{"name":"Brain injury","volume":" ","pages":"126-135"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142387895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
