Concussion. 2016 Mar;1(1). doi: 10.2217/cnc.15.6. Epub 2015 Aug 6.
Reducing the frequency and severity of concussions from sport is an important issue in public health currently addressed by a multifaceted approach. Given the large number of participants and the comparatively high risk of injury, American football is an important sport to consider when examining concussion management practices. Focusing on American football at the collegiate level, this manuscript describes current research regarding concussion epidemiology, policy, implementation of clinical diagnosis, management and return-to-play standards and athlete concussion education. Although American collegiate sports leagues have put forth concussion-related policies in recent years, the implementation of these policies and related effects on athlete concussion education, clinical management of concussion and ultimately athlete health outcomes are not well understood. Additional research is needed.
降低体育运动中脑震荡的发生频率和严重程度是当前公共卫生领域的一个重要问题,目前正通过多方面的方法来解决。鉴于参与者数量众多且受伤风险相对较高,在研究脑震荡管理措施时,美式橄榄球是一项需要重点考虑的运动。本文聚焦于大学水平的美式橄榄球运动,描述了当前关于脑震荡流行病学、政策、临床诊断实施、管理及重返赛场标准以及运动员脑震荡教育的研究。尽管美国大学体育联盟近年来已经出台了与脑震荡相关的政策,但这些政策的实施情况以及对运动员脑震荡教育、脑震荡的临床管理以及最终运动员健康结果的相关影响尚不清楚。还需要更多的研究。
