JAT Chat | Prediction of Clinical Recovery from Concussion (Audio)

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Tom Campbell speaks with Dr. Jacob Resch and Dr. John MacKnight (University of Virginia) about the recent publication, "Leveraging the Enhanced Sports as a Laboratory Assessment Model to Cross-Validate a Formula Used to Predict Clinical Recovery From Concussion in Collegiate Athletes".  This episode discusses a study that cross-validates a previously published prognostic formula for concussion recovery using the Enhanced SLAM point-of-care data model in collegiate athletes. Key predictors included total symptom severity and the 24-hour duration of drowsiness, neck pain, nervousness, and tingling; the findings emphasize clinical relevance, clinician–researcher collaboration, and using the formula as an adjunct to—not a replacement for—clinical judgment.
