Concussion. 2019 Nov 1;4(3):CNC65. doi: 10.2217/cnc-2019-0005.
Postconcussion symptom-rating scales are frequently used concussion assessment tools that do not align directly with new expert, consensus-based concussion subtype classification systems. This may result in delays in concussion diagnosis, subspecialty referral and rehabilitative strategies.
To determine the representation of subtype-directed symptomatology in common postconcussion symptom-rating scales.
Literature review and expert consensus were used to compile commonly used concussion symptom-rating scales. Statistics were generated to describe the degree of representation of the consensus symptom set.
The percentage of symptoms representing each subtype/associated condition is low overall (15-26%). The ocular-motor (11%) and vestibular subtypes (19%) and cervical strain (5%)-associated condition were the most under-represented and also had the greatest unmet needs.
Concussion subtypes do not have equal representation on commonly used concussion symptom-rating scales. There is a need for a subtype-directed symptom assessment to allow for increased accuracy of diagnosis and to guide management.
脑震荡后症状评定量表是常用的脑震荡评估工具,但与新的基于专家共识的脑震荡亚型分类系统并不直接匹配。这可能导致脑震荡诊断、专科转诊和康复策略的延迟。
确定常见脑震荡后症状评定量表中针对亚型的症状表现情况。
通过文献综述和专家共识来编制常用的脑震荡症状评定量表。生成统计数据以描述共识症状集的表现程度。
总体而言,代表每种亚型/相关病症的症状百分比很低(15%-26%)。眼动亚型(11%)、前庭亚型(19%)和颈部劳损相关病症(5%)的表现最不充分,未满足的需求也最大。
脑震荡亚型在常用的脑震荡症状评定量表中的表现并不相同。需要一种针对亚型的症状评估方法,以提高诊断准确性并指导治疗。
