To investigate the use of the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 3 (SCAT3) as an assessment tool in the varsity population, as well as the effects of sex and concussion history on both baseline and postconcussion scores.
A comparison between baseline and postconcussion SCAT3 scores of varsity level athletes was conducted through retrospective chart review. Differences in both baseline and postconcussion scores were further analysed by sex and history of concussion.
The only clinically significant change on the SCAT3 elicited by a concussion was that of self-reported symptoms. There were no clinically significant differences based on sex or history of concussion.
The SCAT3 in its entirety may not be useful in this population. Additional research on sociocultural and sport aspects that may be affecting symptom reporting in this population is needed.
研究运动性脑震荡评估工具3（SCAT3）作为大学运动员群体评估工具的使用情况，以及性别和脑震荡史对基线和脑震荡后得分的影响。
通过回顾性病历审查，对大学水平运动员的基线和脑震荡后SCAT3得分进行比较。进一步按性别和脑震荡史分析基线和脑震荡后得分的差异。
脑震荡引起的SCAT3上唯一具有临床意义的变化是自我报告的症状。基于性别或脑震荡史没有临床显著差异。
SCAT3整体在该群体中可能无用。需要对可能影响该群体症状报告的社会文化和运动方面进行更多研究。
