- It can seem that this is a new problem, or one that no one paid attention to until recent things have turned it into a health care epidemic. Not the case. We have been dealing with concussion for a long time. Recent trends have highlighted
- Some estimate that there are 3.8 million concussions each year – very difficult to clarify how many because so many never are seen in emergency departments and/or are not reported to anyone. So, does that mean that most are trivial, quick to recover, and something we should not worry about? Too simplistic to think of it that way.
- There are at least 5-6 definitions of concussion from well-respected groups, which overlap substantially but not entirely. It may seem like it should be easy to define this, but unlike defining more severe levels of TBI, a definition of concussion or MTBI is somewhat elusive.
- Notice that this definition is applied if any of the four features are shown
- These points apply to MTBI – not moderate and severe TBI.
- Return to a slide from earlier – showing many of the symptoms associated with concussion. One part of clinical challenge is that common symptoms associated with concussion may be found in other disorders/conditions as well.
- Significant base rate of symptoms in other conditions that may co-occur with MTBI or in some cases there may be misattribution of symptoms to possible MTBI
- Working very closely with Children’s National Medical Center
