Neurocognitive Deficits of Concussed Adolescent Athletes at Self-reported Symptom Resolution in the Zurich Guidelines Era.

Background: Previous studies have evaluated high school and collegiate athletes in the pre-Zurich guidelines era; whether adolescent athletes demonstrate similar neurocognitive decrements in the current concussion management era remains unclear.

Purpose: To assess for the presence of neurocognitive deficits in adolescents with a sport-related concussion at the time of self-reported symptom resolution.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Physical Maturity and Concussion Symptom Duration among Adolescent Ice Hockey Players.

Objective: To investigate the association between physical maturity and risk of prolonged concussion symptoms in adolescent ice hockey players.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study of 145 patients ages 13-18 years with concussion referred to 3 hospital-affiliated sports medicine clinics between September 1, 2012 and March 31, 2015. Concussion evaluations included Post Concussive Symptom Score, neurologic examination, and postinjury computerized neurocognitive testing.

Eye Protection and Risk of Eye Injuries in High School Field Hockey.

Objective: To determine if injury rates among female field hockey players differ before and after implementation of a national mandate for protective eyewear (MPE).

Methods: We analyzed girls' field hockey exposure and injury data collected from national (High School Reporting Information Online [RIO]) and regional (Fairfax County Public Schools) high school sports injury databases in 2 seasons before (2009/10 and 2010/11) and 2 seasons after (2011/12 and 2012/13) a national MPE.

Results: The incidence of eye/orbital injuries was significantly higher in states without MPE (0.
