Concussion-Recovery Trajectories Among Tactical Athletes: Results From the CARE Consortium.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Assessments of the duration of concussion recovery have primarily been limited to sport-related concussions and male contact sports. Furthermore, whereas durations of symptoms and return-to-activity (RTA) protocols encompass total recovery, the trajectory of each duration has not been examined separately.

Objective

To identify individual (eg, demographics, medical history), initial concussion injury (eg, symptoms), and external (eg, site) factors associated with symptom duration and RTA-protocol duration after concussion.

Design

Patients or other participants

A total of 10 604 cadets at participating US military service academies enrolled in the study and completed a baseline evaluation a
