To examine the association of select demographic, medical history, and injury-related factors to Concussion Clinical Profile Screening (CP Screen) scores and clinician-adjudicated profiles in patients following concussion.
No actionable change for audiologists or hearing specialists; this study addresses concussion clinical profiling in a head trauma rehabilitation context with limited direct relevance to audiology practice.
Better understanding of concussion clinical profiles and their predictors could indirectly improve assessment of vestibular and auditory symptoms that commonly follow head trauma.
- 01Study examined preinjury factors (e.g., prior concussion, anxiety) and injury characteristics as predictors of concussion clinical profiles.
- 02The CP Screen tool was validated against clinician-adjudicated concussion profiles.
- 03Vestibulo-ocular dysfunction is one recognized concussion clinical profile that overlaps with audiology scope.
- 04Results could support more targeted triage of patients with post-concussive vestibular or auditory complaints.
- 05Published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, indicating a rehabilitation medicine audience.
Preinjury factors such as prior concussion history and anxiety are associated with specific concussion clinical profiles.
