Concussions can have detrimental on children's cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and/or social functioning. We sought to examine changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and functional disability from pre-injury to 1-week post-concussion, and to symptom resolution among youth ages 11-17 with a concussion.
In this prospective, longitudinal cohort study, 83 concussed youth, ages 11-17, self-reported post-concussion symptoms daily as well as HRQOL and functional disability at baseline (pre-injury, retrospective), 1-week post-concussion, and symptom resolution. We modeled changes in overall and sub-scale HRQOL and functional disability scores over time from pre-injury to 1-week post-concussion and from 1-week post-concussion to symptom resolution using a piecewise linear mixed model, adjusting for potential covariables. Estimated fixed effects with a corresponding adjusted coefficient (beta), along with their 95% confidence intervals are presented.
Overall HRQOL worsened from pre-injury to 1-week post-injury (β = - 5.40, 95%CI - 9.22, - 1.58) but did not change from 1-week post-injury to symptom resolution. Physical HRQOL worsened from pre-injury to 1-week post-injury (β = - 9.90, 95%CI - 14.65, - 5.14) but improved from 1-week post-injury to symptom resolution (β = 1.64, 95%CI 0.50, 2.78), while psychosocial HRQOL showed no change over time. Functional disability worsened from pre-injury to 1-week post-injury (β = 8.36, 95%CI 5.93, 10.79) but with no change from 1-week post-injury to symptom resolution. Youth with symptom duration > 14 days reported worse HRQOL and functional disability than those who recovered in ≤ 14 days and greater daily post-concussion symptom scores were associated with worse HRQOL and functional disability.
Concussions have a negative impact on overall and physical HRQOL and functional disability in youth acutely post-injury. Ratings of HRQOL could be used to inform clinical treatment decisions to assist with the recovery process.
脑震荡会对儿童的认知、情感、行为和/或社交功能产生不利影响。我们试图研究11至17岁脑震荡青少年从受伤前到脑震荡后1周的健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）和功能残疾变化，以及症状缓解情况。
在这项前瞻性纵向队列研究中，83名11至17岁的脑震荡青少年每天自我报告脑震荡后的症状，以及在基线（受伤前，回顾性）、脑震荡后1周和症状缓解时的HRQOL和功能残疾情况。我们使用分段线性混合模型对从受伤前到脑震荡后1周以及从脑震荡后1周到症状缓解期间总体和子量表HRQOL及功能残疾评分的随时间变化进行建模，并对潜在协变量进行调整。给出了估计的固定效应及其相应的调整系数（β）以及它们的95%置信区间。
总体HRQOL从受伤前到受伤后1周恶化（β = -5.40，95%CI -9.22，-1.58），但从受伤后1周到症状缓解没有变化。身体HRQOL从受伤前到受伤后1周恶化（β = -9.90，95%CI -14.65，-5.14），但从受伤后1周到症状缓解有所改善（β = 1.64，95%CI 0.50，2.78），而心理社会HRQOL随时间没有变化。功能残疾从受伤前到受伤后1周恶化（β = 8.36，95%CI 5.93，10.79），但从受伤后1周到症状缓解没有变化。症状持续时间>14天的青少年报告的HRQOL和功能残疾比在≤14天内康复的青少年更差，且每天脑震荡后症状评分越高，HRQOL和功能残疾越差。
脑震荡对青少年受伤后急性期的总体和身体HRQOL以及功能残疾有负面影响。HRQOL评分可用于为临床治疗决策提供信息，以协助恢复过程。
