3 eappendix. Review Search Criteria The author surveyed articles from the PubMed online database ( ) using the following search terms: concussion, pathophysiology, adolescent, mild Traumatic Brain Injury, sports-related concussion, evaluation, risk factors, long-term outcome, neurocognitive outcome, and prognosis. Articles were selected for inclusion based on direct applicability to each question posed. Randomized trials, systematic reviews, or prospective cohort studies with level 1 or evidence were selected whenever possible. 011 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

Long-term Sequelae of Concussion in Athletes Source Study Type Study Population Population Size Study Method Results Level of Evidence 1 Guskiewicz et al, 007 Questionnaire/retr ospective survey Retired professional football players Weir et al, Rao et al, McKee et al, Cross-sectional questionnairebased survey Prospective cohort study, although analyzed using a nested casecontrol design Case series and case review Retired professional football players Mild TBI patients from the trauma unit of hospitals; followed longitudinally for 1 year Football players, autopsy N = 3683 players contacted, 55 respondents N = 165 players contacted, 1063 participated N = 43 N = 5 (case series), case review of N = 48 previously published cases Metric: General health questionnaire, SF-36. A second questionnaire about mild cognitive impairment (MCI)-related issues were also used for a subset of athletes. Metric: Questionnaire based on major national health surveys Metric: Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV Axis 1 disorders; clinical information, including psychosocial functioning and family history, from interviews and medical record review; General Medical Health Rating scale; CT scans; a battery of cognitive tests. Neuropathology and immunocytochemical analysis; clinical history review 69 (11.1%) respondents had a prior history of or current diagnosis of clinical depression. 3 or more prior concussions were associated with an OR of 3 for likelihood of depression compared with athletes with no history of concussion. 1- prior concussions were associated with an Or of 1.5 for likelihood of depression. Pertinent to TBI: Retired NFL players had a higher rate of dementia. In men aged 30-49, 1.9% of NFL retirees vs. 0.1% in the general male adult population. In men aged 50+, 6.1% of NFL retirees vs. 1.% in the general male adult population. 18% prevalence of new-onset depression; higher incidence of depression in patients of older age or with frontal subdural hemorrhages Neuropathology demonstrated cerebral and medial temporal lobe atrophy, ventriculomegaly, enlarged cavum septum pellucidum, and extensive tau-immunoreactive pathology throughout the neocortex, medial temporal lobe, diencephalon, brainstem, and spinal cord American Medical Association.

5 etable. Long-term Sequelae of Concussion in Athletes (continued) Source Study Type Study Population Population Size Study Method Results Level of Evidence 1 Moser et al, Prospective cohort study High school athletes from multiple sports N = 38 Iverson et al, Case-control study Amateur (high school and college) athletes Collie et al, Cohort study Elite male Australian-rules footballers Mihalik et al, Cohort study High-school and collegiate athletes that had sustained concussions N = 19 athletes with a history of 3 or more concussions, matched with a group of athletes without a concussion history N = 51 N = 61 divided into 3 groups: posttraumatic migraine (PTM), n = 74; headache (HA), n = 14; and nonheadache, n = 63 Metric: Structured clinical interview, demographic form, symptom checklist, a battery of neuropsychological tests Metric: Computerized neuropsychological battery (ImPACT) preseason and within 5 days (mean = 1.7 days) after sustaining a concussion Metric: Clinical history questionnaire, preseason computerized examination (CogSport) and a battery of cognitive tasks assessing reaction time, decision making, attention, learning, and memory Metric: Computerized neurocognitive testing using ImPACT Compared with athletes without a history of concussion, athletes with recent concussions and those with a history of multiple concussions, despite being symptom-free, performed significantly worse on tests of attention and concentration and had lower grade point averages. Compared with athletes without a prior history of concussion, athletes with a history of multiple concussions had more symptoms at baseline and had an OR of 7.7 for having a decline on memory testing. They also scored lower on memory tests at about days after concussion compared with athletes who had 1 prior concussion No significant difference in the number of prior concussions and current cognitive performance. Compared with the HA and non-ha groups, the PTM group had significantly greater neurocognitive deficits and impairments American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

Long-term Sequelae of Concussion in Athletes (continued) Source Study Type Study Population Population Size Study Method Results Level of Evidence 1 Iverson et al, Cohort study Macciocchi et al, Cohort study Male high school and university amateur athletes College football players who sustained 1 and grade 1 concussive injuries N = 867; 3 groups: n = 664 athletes without history of concussion, n = 149 with 1 prior concussion, and n = 54 with prior concussions N = 4, selected from a larger sample (N = 300) from Division I-A collegiate football players Metric: Computerized neuropsychological testing with ImPACT version.0 Metric: Neuropsychological tests, symptoms checklists, standardized physical assessments No significant difference in neuropsychological test performance or symptom reporting among the groups. No statistically significant difference in performance between players with 1 or concussions. Symptoms increased in athletes that sustained a concussion, but these improved and were back to baseline by 10 days after concussion.
