Video Summary

In a video lecture, Steve Berlio, director of the Michigan Concussion Center at the University of Michigan, discusses the CARE Consortium and its research on concussion management. The CARE Consortium, which started in 2014, aimed to understand the acute natural history of concussion and evaluate different concussion management tools. The consortium collected data from 30 participating sites across the United States. The study involved baseline evaluations for varsity athletes, evaluations within six hours of injury, evaluations at asymptomatic time points, evaluations six months post-injury, and evaluations at the beginning of the next season. The study found that symptoms were the number one predictor of concussion, with the SCAT5 evaluation tools capturing the relevant information needed by clinicians. The study also emphasized the importance of baseline evaluations and provided a step-by-step progression for clinical decision-making. Additionally, the study examined concussion recovery timelines and found that it may take up to one month for normal concussion recovery. The study found no difference in return-to-play time between male and female athletes in comparable sports. The speaker also presented data on sport-specific recovery profiles and discussed the need for further research in this area.<br /><br />Credits: <br />Speaker: Steve Berlio<br />Video: AOSSM Exchange Lecture 2020<br />Transcript: Provided by AOSSM
