“ ‘It’s not dangerous to play with a concussion,’ said Kelby Jasmon, a senior two-way player for his high school in Springfield, Ill., who has had three concussions. ‘You’ve got to sacrifice for the sake of the team. The only way I come out is on a stretcher.’ ”

Suicide Mortality Among Retired National
Football League Players Who Played 5 or More Seasons CDC May 2016
Suicide among this cohort of professional football players was significantly less than would be expected in comparison with the United States population (SMR = 0.47; 95% CI, 0.24-0.82). There were no significant differences in suicide mortality between speed and non speed position players.

American Medical Society for Sports Medicine position statement:
concussion in sport
DIAGNOSIS OF CONCUSSION:
Concussion remains a clinical diagnosis ideally made by a healthcare provider familiar with the athlete and knowledgeable in the recognition and evaluation of concussion
Use of graded symptom checklists and standardized assessment tools provide a helpful structure for the evaluation of concussion.
SIDELINE EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT:
Any athlete suspected of having a concussion should be stopped from playing and assessed by a licensed healthcare provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussions
Imaging is reserved for athletes where intracerebral bleeding is suspected.
There is no same day RTP for an athlete diagnosed with a concussion.

American Medical Society for Sports Medicine position statement:
concussion in sport NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING:
Neuropsychological (NP) tests are an objective measure of brain behavior relationships
RETURN TO CLASS:
Students will require cognitive rest and may require academic
RETURN TO PLAY:
Concussion symptoms should be resolved before returning to exercise. A RTP progression involves a gradual, step-wise increase in physical demands, sports-specific activities and the risk for contact

American Academy of Pediatrics Position Statement on Concussions
Coaches and Athletic Trainers should be trained in the identification of concussions, and refer any student athlete suspected of sustaining a concussion to a licensed physician, such as a pediatrician, neurologist, primary care sports medicine specialist, or neurosurgeon with expanded knowledge and experience in pediatric concussion management for evaluation.
Pediatricians and other physicians can be an important resource in educating coaches, athletic trainers, and other adults that work with young athletes in recognizing the signs of concussion injuries and when to seek medical attention for their athletes.
A team approach consisting of the child or adolescent athlete’s pediatrician and medical team, the school team, and the family team to assist the student in his or her return to learning is ideal.

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF NEUROLOGY
POSITION STATEMENT ON SPORTS CONCUSSION
Recommendations
Any athlete who is suspected to have suffered a concussion should be removed from participation until he or she is evaluated by a physician with training in the evaluation and management of sports concussions
No athlete should be allowed to participate in sports if he or she is still experiencing symptoms from a concussion.
Following a concussion, a neurologist or physician with proper training should be consulted prior to clearing the athlete for return to participation.
A certified athletic trainer should be present at all sporting events, including practices, where athletes are at risk for concussion.

Clinical Findings
• At the time of injury player reported
experiencing 16 of 18 concussion symptoms on
the Graded Symptom Checklist (GSC).
• SAC and BESS performed on the sideline
revealed moderate deficits. Follow-up
computerized neuropsychological (NP) and
postural stability (PS) testing revealed moderate
deficits through post injury day 3.

• Reported 13 of 18 concussion symptoms at the
time of injury. Symptoms lingered for 10 days,
with drowsiness, fatigue, and dizziness being
the most persistent symptoms.
• Sideline SAC and BESS scores were again moderately depressed, however, serial assessments of NP tests were significantly depressed during the initial 4 days post injury.

An MRI was not conducted as part of the
Treatment. However, the player was evaluated by the team physician daily to detect signs of any neurological deterioration.
Player withheld for 15 days before being
permitted to return to full participation.

Conclusions Raises several intriguing questions with respect to sport-
related concussion:
1) was there a cumulative effect on the initial injury day,
since there were two significant impacts during the
morning practice?
2) could the threshold for injury be lowered because of
these repetitive loads to the brain? “Acute cumulative
effect of sub-concussive impacts”
3) was the delayed symptom recovery and depressed NP
scores following the repeat concussion a result of
a more chronic cumulative effect, or simply a result of the
increased magnitude (102 g)?

Neuropsychological Testing
• A variety of tests that measure reaction time, memory,
and concentration (e.g., King-Devick, ImPACT,
AxonSports, and Headminder Concussion Resolution
Index)
• Baseline tests are obtained preseason to provide a basis for comparison in the event an athlete suffers a
concussion
• Tests are of no value when the athlete is symptomatic because it will not affect the return to play decision
• Has not been proven to reduce morbidity or mortality
• Should not be used as the sole basis for management
decisions

National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) Position Statement on management of concussions
ATC should spearhead the development of a detailed written plan outlining the concussion-management strategy and share it with administrators and coaches.
The plan should include a baseline evaluation of athletes, including a neurologic history with symptoms and physical examination and objective measures of neurocognitive performance and motor control.
Once the concussion diagnosis has been made, the patient should be immediately removed from further participation for at least 24 hours. Follow-up testing, using the same protocol as the baseline examination, can aid in determining when to start the return to physical activity after the patient is cleared by a physician or designate.
Lastly, although most concussions resolve in a relatively short time frame, patients who are young, who have had multiple concussions, or who have premorbid factors may require additional attention.
