Objective: Psychological symptoms following a sport-related concussion may affect recovery in adolescent athletes. Therefore, the aims of this study were to 1) describe the proportion of athletes with acute psychological symptoms, 2) identify potential predictors of higher initial psychological symptoms, and 3) determine whether psychological symptoms affect recovery in a cohort of concussed high school athletes.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of high school athletes (14-18 years of age) who sustained a sport-related concussion from November 2017 to April 2022 and presented to a multidisciplinary concussion center was performed.
Introduction: In adolescent and collegiate athletes with sport-related concussion (SRC), we sought to evaluate the prevalence and predictors of long-term psychological symptoms.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted of athletes 12-24-year-old diagnosed with SRC between November 2017 and April 2022. Athletes/proxies were interviewed on psychological symptoms (i.
Background And Objectives: While spinal cord neurapraxia (SCN) is a documented pathology in athletes, guidance for neurosurgeons evaluating these patients is sparse. Therefore, in a cohort of adolescent athletes with SCN, we sought to (1) review their presentation and management and (2) describe outcomes and return-to-play (RTP).
Methods: A single-center, retrospective case series was conducted to examine adolescent athletes diagnosed with SCN from 2017 to 2022.
Context: After sport-related concussion (SRC), immediate access to a certified athletic trainer (AT) is important to ensure proper treatment. However, resource allocation and coverage may differ between male and female youth sports.
Objective: To compare resource allocation between male and female sports in the following areas: (1) rates of immediate on-field evaluation by an AT at the time of injury, (2) time to general health care presentation, and (3) time to SRC clinic presentation.
Objective: In a cohort of high school football athletes, the authors sought to 1) describe the proportion of those with acute psychological symptoms postconcussion, 2) determine predictors of more acute psychological symptoms postconcussion, and 3) determine if acute psychological symptoms impact recovery.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of high school football athletes (14-18 years of age) who sustained a sport-related concussion between November 2017 and April 2022 and presented to a multidisciplinary concussion center was performed. Based on their Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) scores at the initial clinic visit, their total psychological symptom cluster score was calculated by summing their scores for the four affective symptoms (irritability, sadness, nervousness, and feeling more emotional).
Objective: Many patients experience vestibular dysfunction following a sport-related concussion (SRC). Vestibular rehabilitation therapy has recently become more well established. In a cohort of athletes with SRC, the authors sought to 1) assess the relationship between symptoms at the initial clinic visit and time to referral for vestibular therapy, and 2) evaluate whether earlier referral to vestibular therapy was associated with faster recovery, as defined as days to return to learn (RTL), symptom resolution (SR), and return to play (RTP).

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Regional sport concussion center.
Objective: Return-to-learn (RTL) after sport-related concussion (SRC) is an important yet understudied topic. The authors sought to do the following: 1) describe patterns of RTL among athletes by school level (i.e.

Inclusion criteria included follow-up until radiographic union and no known medical conditions that could impair healing.

- Maternal beliefs about food cost, social status, and nutritional value significantly influence children's dietary intake, especially in Samoa where childhood obesity is a concern.
- In a study of 44 Samoan mothers, traditional foods were viewed as healthier, more socially esteemed, and cheaper than imported foods, suggesting strong nutritional and consumer knowledge among these mothers.
- Interestingly, the perceived cost of food had a greater impact on children's eating habits than healthiness or social status, indicating a need for better access to affordable healthy options for families.
