Concussions can have a negative impact on students' ability to perform in the classroom as well as on their health and well-being. Therefore, timely treatment is especially important. To better understand the scope of the problem in Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Health piloted an online sports-related concussion reporting system in 36 public high schools in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. In the 2013-2014 academic year, 730 concussions were reported to our system from certified athletic trainers working with those schools, with one out of every 100 athletes sustaining concussions. From this, we estimated that 2,974 sports-related concussions occurred among high school athletes statewide. This information is useful for evaluating and guiding prevention efforts and for informing clinicians on how to treat concussions.
脑震荡会对学生在课堂上的表现以及他们的健康和幸福产生负面影响。因此，及时治疗尤为重要。为了更好地了解明尼苏达州该问题的范围，明尼苏达州卫生部在双子城都会区的36所公立高中试点了一个与体育相关的脑震荡在线报告系统。在2013 - 2014学年，与这些学校合作的认证运动训练师向我们的系统报告了730起脑震荡事件，每100名运动员中就有1人遭受脑震荡。据此，我们估计该州高中运动员中发生了2974起与体育相关的脑震荡。这些信息对于评估和指导预防工作以及告知临床医生如何治疗脑震荡很有用。
