Abstract

Up to 30% of individuals experience persisting symptoms after concussion (PSaC). Identifying variables associated with prolonged recovery remains a high priority. The objective of this study was to evaluate risk factors of PSaC at 1 month and variables associated with time to recovery in adults presenting to the emergency department (ED) with concussion.
