Philadelphia, Pa. (January 7, 2013) - Athletes with concussions must be
held out of practice or play until all symptoms have resolved, to avoid
the risk of further injury during the vulnerable period before the brain
has recovered. That's among the key recommendations in the new American
Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) position statement on
concussions in sport, which appears in the January issue of Clinical
Journal of Sport Medicine. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams
& Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.

Evidence on Rates, Risks, and Management of Concussions in Sport
.
"This statement is really a comprehensive guide to the current knowledge
on concussion," commented lead author Dr Kimberly G. Harmon of University
of Washington, Seattle. "It is critically important that sport concussions
be evaluated and managed by medical professionals who are trained and
familiar with sport concussion and aware of strengths and limitations of
tests used to evaluate them." The AMSSM statement is available on the
journal website.
.
The AMSSM position statement defines concussion as a "subset of mild
traumatic brain injuryat the less severe end of the brain injury
spectrum." The injury generally resolves completely with time. However, a
growing body of research finds that concussion is followed by a period of
increased vulnerability to repeat injury. Sustaining another concussion
during this time has been linked to worse outcomes. In athletes and others
with repeated concussions, irreversible damage may occur.
.
Up to 3.8 million sports-related concussions occur each year in the United
States, half of which may go unreported. Risk is higher in certain sports
and positions, in youth athletes, and in athletes with previous
concussions. In sports with similar rules, female athletes may be at
higher risk than males.

'No Same Day Return to Play' after Concussion
.
The section on sideline evaluation specifies that any athlete with
suspected concussion be removed from play and assessed by a health care
professional trained in the evaluation and management of concussions. The
AMSSM statement emphasizes, "There is no same day return to play for an
athlete diagnosed with concussion."
