Area of Science:

Sports Medicine
Neuroscience
Psychology

Background:

Neurocognitive tests are vital for concussion management.
Understanding baseline performance factors is essential for accurate assessment.
Preexisting conditions can influence initial test results.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify preexisting factors affecting performance on the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPACT).
To inform concussion management protocols by understanding baseline variability.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional study involving 486 NCAA Division I collegiate student-athletes.
ImPACT administered to assess neurocognitive function and symptom scores.
Multivariate analyses used to evaluate the impact of demographic and medical history factors.

Main Results:

Female athletes outperformed males in verbal memory, visual motor speed, and reaction time.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis impacted visual motor speed.
History of headaches, migraines, psychiatric conditions, or ADHD affected total symptom scores.

Conclusions:

Multiple preexisting factors significantly influence baseline neurocognitive data.
Sports medicine professionals must consider these factors in concussion protocols.
Accurate baseline assessment is key for effective concussion management.
