Concussion is a physiological injury to the extremely complex and dynamic human brain. Individual variability adds to the challenge of concussion management, and sports medicine practitioners recently have begun to realize the need for an individualized approach. Adequately assessing an athlete with concussion requires consideration of many risk factors, including age, gender, and certain comorbid conditions. Understanding how these factors may affect concussion risk and outcome is becoming an essential aspect of management. This article reviews what is known or assumed about how some of these risk factors affect concussion. We conclude by providing several key concepts that we feel are important to keep in mind when managing an athlete with concussion.
脑震荡是对极其复杂且动态变化的人类大脑的一种生理损伤。个体差异增加了脑震荡管理的难度，运动医学从业者最近已开始意识到需要采取个性化方法。对脑震荡运动员进行充分评估需要考虑许多风险因素，包括年龄、性别和某些合并症。了解这些因素如何影响脑震荡风险和结果正成为管理的一个重要方面。本文回顾了关于其中一些风险因素如何影响脑震荡的已知或假设情况。我们通过提供几个关键概念来总结，我们认为在管理脑震荡运动员时牢记这些概念很重要。
