The following characteristics were assessed: demographics, injury mechanism (SRC, RRC, or SRRC), point of healthcare entry, and clinical signs and symptoms. Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests were used to assess group differences. Posthoc pairwise comparisons were employed for all analyses (α = 0.017).<h4>Results</h4>One thousand one hundred forty-oneThe Journal of pediatricsCharacteristics of Pediatric Concussion across Different Mechanisms of Injury in 5 through 12-Year-Olds.PMC11499042R01NS097549R01 NS097549T32 NS043126T32NS043126Arbogast KBGrady MFMcDonald CCRoby PRCorwin DJMaster CLfalseCharacteristics of Pediatric Concussion across Different Mechanisms of Injury in 5 through 12-Year-Olds.<h4>Objective</h4>To investigate characteristics of sport-related concussion (SRC), recreation-related concussion (RRC), and nonsport or recreation-related concussion (non-SRRC) in patients 5 through 12 years old, an understudied population in youth concussion.<h4>Study design</h4>This observational study included patients aged 5 through 12 years presenting to a specialty care concussion setting at ≤28 days postinjury from 2018 through 2022.
