The impact of traumatic brain injuries: A global perspective (2007, background): “However, since the problems experienced by those suffering TBI, such as impairments in memory or cognition, are often not visible, it has been referred to as the “silent epidemic” [45].”
Summary of evidence-based guideline update: Evaluation and management of concussion in sports (2013, background): “8 million affected individuals annually in the United States, many of whom do not obtain immediate medical attention.(1) The table summarizes the currently available data for the overall concussion rate (CR) and the CRs for 5”
Rates of major depressive disorder and clinical outcomes following traumatic brain injury (2010, neutral): “Systematic integrationofmentalhealth services into standard care of patients with TBI may be needed to improve longterm outcomes after TBI.”
National Athletic Trainers' Association position statement: management of sport concussion. (2014, background): “8 million reported and unreported sport- and recreation-related concussions occurring each year in the United States.(4) As licensed medical professionals, athletic trainers (ATs) receive comprehensive didactic and clinical training in concussion management.”
The Role of Markers of Inflammation in Traumatic Brain Injury (2013, background): “In the United States, it accounted for at least 1.5 million emergency room visits and hospitalizations annually between 1995 and 2001, a number that has certainly increased as a result of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (Langlois et al., 2006).”
Consensus statement on concussion in sport—the 5th international conference on concussion in sport held in Berlin, October 2016 (2017, background): “While this seems like an arbitrary separation from other forms of TBI, which account for 80% of such injuries, 44 45 it is largely driven by sporting bodies that see the need to have clear and practical guidelines to determine recovery and safe return to play for athletes with an SRC.”
The epidemiology of sport-related concussion. (2011, background): “8 million concussions occur in sports and recreational activities annually.(7) However, these figures vastly underestimate total TBI burden, as many individuals suffering from mild or moderate TBI do not seek medical advice.”
Clinical Risk Score for Persistent Postconcussion Symptoms Among Children With Acute Concussion in the ED. (2016, neutral): “18 Patients were excluded for (1) a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13 or less, (2) a structural abnormality on neuroimaging (if performed), (3) a neurosurgical intervention, (4) intubation or intensive care unit admission, (5) multisystem injury requiring hospitalization, (6) procedural sedation, (7) s”
