Sport Type and Risk of Subsequent Injury in Collegiate Athletes Following Concussion: a LIMBIC MATARS Consortium Investigation.

To investigate the association between sport type (collision, contact, non-contact) and subsequent injury risk following concussion in collegiate athletes. This retrospective chart review of 248 collegiate athletes with diagnosed concussions (age: 20.0 ± 1.4 years; height: 179.6 ± 10.9 cm; mass: 79.0 ± 13.6 kg, 63% male) from NCAA athletic programs ( Approximately 28% (70/248) of athletes sustained a subsequent acute injury within six months post-concussion. Collision sport athletes had a significantly higher risk of sustaining any injury (HR: 0.41, Collision sport athletes had a higher rate of any subsequent injury, lower, and upper extremity injuries following concussion. Future research should focus on sport-specific secondary injury prevention efforts.
