Comparing peer relationship ratings among adolescents with sport and Non-sport Related Concussions.

Objective: To evaluate if peer relationship ratings differ among adolescents who sustain a sport-related concussion compared to those who sustain a non-sport-related concussion.

Study Design: We conducted a cross-sectional investigation of 123 adolescents who sustained a concussion within 21 days before their initial post-injury evaluation (mean = 9.2 ± 3.

Feasibility of at-Home Sleep Monitoring in Adolescents with and without Concussion.

Background: Poor sleep is associated with longer recovery following adolescent concussion, making the longitudinal assessment of sleep important for monitoring recovery and identifying sleep disruptions. An important consideration for successful monitoring of sleep following concussion is the feasibility and adherence of a given sleep monitoring tool when used in an at-home environment. Understanding the usability of different sleep monitoring tools is essential for determining their applicability for longitudinal assessment in an ecologically valid environment.

Clinical Measures Associated with Subsequent Injury after Adolescent Concussion: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: To examine associations between clinical measures (self-reported and clinician-administered) and subsequent injury rates in the year after concussion return to play (RTP) among adolescent athletes.

Methods: We performed a prospective, longitudinal study of adolescents ages 13-18 years. Each participant was initially assessed within 21 days of concussion and again within 5 days of receiving RTP clearance from their physician.

Variability of Prehospital Pain Management Protocols: A Review of Prehospital Care Protocols in the United States.

Purpose: We describe emergency medical services (EMS) protocols for pain management in the United States to elucidate systemic variability in protocols. We describe types of pain medications included in protocols, routes of administration, indications for use, standing orders for dosing, and use in pediatric patients.

Methods: We performed a review of all publicly accessible EMS protocols from the website http://www.

A Tailored Electronic Survivorship Care Plan for Prostate Cancer Survivors: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: Although the provision of a survivorship care plan (SCP) has been recommended after prostate cancer (PCa) treatment, there have been no randomized controlled trials to examine their impact. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a tailored PCa-SCP intervention provided to early-stage PCa survivors.

Materials And Methods: A prospective, parallel 1:1 randomized controlled trial was conducted at 3 sites across Canada.
