Health-Related Quality of Life Following Concussion in Collegiate Student-Athletes With and Without Concussion History.
Annals of Biomedical Engineering 2018 October 10
The purpose of this study was to compare global and specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) throughout concussion recovery between those with and without concussion history. Student-athletes diagnosed with concussion completed global (Short Form-12v2; SF-12) and specific (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale: HADS) HRQOL assessments at baseline, 24-48 h, asymptomatic, return-to-play, and 6-months post-injury. Baseline scores were compared to post-injury time points for SF-12 subscores (physical and mental; PCS-12, MCS-12) and HADS subscores (depression and anxiety; HADS-D, HADS-A). We conducted a 2 × 5 mixed model ANOVA for group (with and without concussion history) and time (four post-injury assessments compared to baseline). We did not observe interaction or main effects for group, except those with concussion history had worse HADS-D subscores than those without concussion history. PCS-12 subscores were worse at 24-48 h, asymptomatic, and return-to-play compared to baseline, but returned to baseline 6-months post-injury. MCS-12 subscores did not differ at any time points. HADS-D subscores worsened 24-48 h post-injury, but improved for additional assessments compared to baseline. HADS-A improved post-injury compared to baseline at asymptomatic, return-to-play, and 6-month assessments, but was similar to baseline 24-48 h post-injury. HRQOL physical aspects slightly worsened post-injury and restored to baseline after returning to play.
