In adult populations, non-sport-related concussions (non-SRCs) demonstrated worse clinical outcomes compared with sport-related concussions (SRCs); however, investigations of non-SRCs in college-aged patients are limited.<h4>Objectives</h4>To examine clinical outcomes in collegiate athletes with non-SRCs compared with SRCs and explore sex differences in outcomes among collegiate athletes with non-SRCs.<h4>Design</h4>Prospective cohort study.<h4>Setting</h4>Clinical setting.<h4>Patients or other participants</h4>A total of 3500 athletes were included (n = 555 with non-SRCs, 42.5% female) from colleges or universities and service academies participating in the NatiJournal of athletic trainingPostinjury Outcomes After Non-Sport-Related Concussion: A CARE Consortium Study.PMC10976341R01 NS097549T32 NS043126Esopenko CBroglio SPMcCrea MEckner JTSusmarski AHunt TRoby PRClugston JRMaster CLPasquina PFArbogast KBMcAllister TWKelly LAChrisman SPDBuckley TMcDevitt JPerkins SMPutukian MCARE Consortium InvestigatorsMozel AECaccese JBfalsePostinjury Outcomes After Non-Sport-Related Concussion: A CARE Consortium Study.<h4>Context</h4>Concussion research has primarily focused on sport-related mechanisms and excluded non-sport-related mechanisms.
