Abstract

Objective:

  1. To establish a collaborative, multi-institutional partnership amongst academic centers with expertise in youth concussion care, research, and education.

  2. To develop a universal, prospective clinical research database aligning with the NIH Common Data Elements (CDE) for pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Background: A recent Institute of Medicine report revealed a striking lack of data on youth concussion. Many academic institutions are currently working in parallel, rather than combining resources and engaging collaboratively to enhance our knowledge base.

Design/Methods: The 4CYC is a group of academic centers committed to working collaboratively to better understand youth sports and brain health. Six sites provided baseline and clinical data, collected October 2014–September 2015. Inclusion criteria: pediatric patients and athletes (ages 5–18.99 years) seen in outpatient treatment or preseason baselines. The data followed the NIH CDE for pediatric TBI for subject characteristics/demographics, clinical ratings, methods of assessment, neuropsychological data, and outcomes.

Results: We collected data from 687 baseline testing encounters, 72% of which are male. There are 2803 new clinic encounters for concussion and 1672 follow-up visits. In general, males made up 55% of new acute (<4wk) visits, while females were predominant in new chronic visits (58%) and follow-up visits (56%). The types of encounters varied among the sites, with 3 sites capturing significant numbers of baselines. There were also distinctions between sites, with acute encounters making up from 50–100% of new patients depending upon the center.

Conclusions: It is feasible for multiple academic concussion centers to combine clinic data on youth mTBI. There is a broad range of youth mTBI data at different sites, ranging from pre-season baseline examinations to early and chronic post-concussion encounters. To obtain a comprehensive view of youth concussions/mTBI, it is beneficial to combine data collection capacity across the time course of injury and recovery.
