Post-concussion states: How do we improve our patients’ outcomes? An Australian perspective
Elizabeth Thomas, Melinda Fitzgerald, Gill Cowen
Abstract
There is limited data surrounding incidence and prevalence of concussion and the resulting post-concussion states. This creates difficulty when investigating ways to optimise patient management. It is proposed that a registry of patients presenting with symptoms and signs after a concussion, as part of a large scale TBI registry across Australia, would provide a starting point for future research with a view to improving the outcomes of patients experiencing symptoms and signs after concussion.
