abstract = {BACKGROUND: There has been increased interest in the number of concussions occurring in college football over the past year. In April 2010, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) published new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of concussions in student athletes. PURPOSE: To determine the number of concussions that occurred on 3 collegiate Division I military academy football teams prior to and following recent changes in the NCAA concussion management policy. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiology study. METHODS: Injury reports were reviewed from 3 Division I military academy football teams. The number of concussions that occurred over the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 seasons, including those sustained in practice and game situations, was determined for each team. Incidence rates were compared using the exact binomial method. RESULTS: The combined concussion incidence rate doubled from 0.57 per 1000 athlete exposures in the 2009-2010 season to 1.16 per 1000 athlete exposures in the 2010-2011 season (incidence rate ratio, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.2-3.55; P = 0.01). The combined numbers of concussions for the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 seasons were 23 (40,481 exposures) and 42 (36,228), respectively. CONCLUSION: The combined incidence rate of concussions for the 2010-2011 season doubled from the previous season after the implementation of new NCAA policies on concussion management. While the institution of a more formalized concussion plan on the part of medical staff is one possible factor, another may have been the increased recognition and reporting on the part of players and coaches after the rule change.},

Incidence rates were compared using the exact binomial method. RESULTS: The combined concussion incidence rate doubled from 0.57 per 1000 athlete exposures in the 2009-2010 season to 1.16 per 1000 athlete exposures in the 2010-2011 season (incidence rate ratio, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.2-3.55; P = 0.01). The combined numbers of concussions for the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 seasons were 23 (40,481 exposures) and 42 (36,228), respectively. CONCLUSION: The combined incidence rate of concussions for the 2010-2011 season doubled from the previous season after the implementation of new NCAA policies on concussion management. While the institution of a more formalized concussion plan on the part of medical staff is one possible factor, another may have been the increased recognition and reporting on the part of players and coaches after the rule change.},

abstract = {Numerous concussions/mild traumatic brain injuries occur each year during athletic participation by a variety of athletes not only in the United States but around the globe. A variety of standards-type statements have been developed by various athletic and sports medicine groups that can be used to improve and standardize the diagnosis and treatment of these injuries. These standards can also be used to assist practitioners in sports medicine clearance for participation and return-to-play decisions. In a medical-legal arena these statements can be used to support the care that is provided to athletes and thus serve as a "shield" to medical-legal claims and suits. However, these standards can also be used to attack the service that is provided and then be used as a "sword." Legal issues surrounding standards statements regarding these injuries and the diagnosis and management of them should be recognized and appreciated by sports medicine providers and used to balance the applicable medical and legal risks associated with their practices.
