Changes in ImPACT Cognitive Subtest Networks Following Sport-Related Concussion.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

High school athletes are administered ImPACT at the start of the academic year or sport season and again after suspected concussion. Concussion management involves the comparison of baseline and post-injury cognitive scores with declines in scores providing evidence for concussive injury. A network framework may provide additional information about post-concussive cognitive changes and expand characterization of sport-related concussion (SRC) recovery.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

High school.

Participants

High school athletes (n = 1553) were administered ImPACT at baseline (T1), post-SRC (T2 = 72 h of injury), and prior to return to play (T3 = within two weeks post-injury).

Independent variables

ImPACT cognitive subtest sc
