Cumulative Effects of Concussion History on Baseline Computerized Neurocognitive Test Scores: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Context

It is unclear whether individuals with a history of single or multiple clinically recovered concussions exhibit worse cognitive performance on baseline testing compared with individuals with no concussion history.

Objective

To analyze the effects of concussion history on baseline neurocognitive performance using a computerized neurocognitive test.

Data sources

PubMed, CINAHL, and psycINFO were searched in November 2015. The search was supplemented by a hand search of references.

Study selection

Studies were included if participants completed the Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPACT) at baseline (ie, preseason) and if performance was stratified by previous history of single or multiple concussions.
