BACKGROUND: Concussions make up a significant proportion of sports injuries. This study aimed to describe the mechanisms of injury and associated symptoms of pediatric patients diagnosed with concussions (age range, 4-17 years) from contact sports.
HYPOTHESIS: Mechanisms of injury would differ based on sex and age, with female athletes and younger athletes aged 4 to 11 years sustaining fewer concussions from player-to-player contact.
STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiology study.
METHODS: The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System was queried for all contact sport concussions presented to United States emergency departments. The sports analyzed included basketball, football, soccer, hockey, rugby, and lacrosse. Descriptive data, mechanisms of injury, and associated symptoms were analyzed for each sport. Differences in the number of concussions sustained by year and sport, the severity of the injury, and associated symptoms were compared using chi-square test, and differences in proportion were calculated for mechanisms of injury stratified by sex and age.
RESULTS: A total of 12,602 youth athletes sustained concussions between 2012 and 2021. Most patients were male (78.5%), with a mean age of 13.48 years. Football concussions were the most common, with 45.32% of the concussions. The mechanism of injury was largely sport-specific, with player-to-player contact the most common overall. Older male athletes were more likely to have concussions from player-to-player contact, whereas younger athletes were more impacted by head-to-ground mechanisms. Symptom presentation was not sport-specific, and headache and dizziness were the most common presentation at 41.2% and 26.2%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: The most important overall mechanism of injury was player-to-player contact, especially in older male youth athletes, whereas younger athletes were more likely to be concussed due to head-to-ground injuries.
