The TRANSCENDENT Concussion Research Program is dedicated to improving concussion research, diagnosis, management, and care.
📋Why this matters:
Using the updated ACRM criteria may help identify more concussions, especially in people with fewer symptoms. This could lead to more consistent diagnoses and timely care. Read the article here: doi.org/10.1097/HTR....

Key Results:
🥼Doctors were more cautious than the new criteria
📊In ~18% of cases, doctors were less likely to suspect a concussion diagnosis
🧠Underdiagnosis was more likely when patients had lower symptom severity
🕐Patients seen sooner after their injury received more definitive concussion diagnoses

Our research team applied these criteria to more than 1,400 patients seen at 360 Concussion Care clinics across Ontario. We compared the results to how doctors made their diagnoses using clinical judgment.

Our goal: to collect data on 5,500 people with concussion over 5 years. This growing dataset is helping us better understand concussion and recovery.

Members of our team published a paper on Autonomic Dysfunction in @JAMANetworkOpen! They tested how kids’ heart rate & blood pressure🩸 changed going from lying down to standing up (using a tilt table) & asked if they felt any new or worsened symptoms like dizziness or fatigue.

A subset of our participants will complete additional tests in our sub-studies, including brain scans, vision tests, and biomarker collection, to help us better understand concussion from every angle.
