Abstract
The possible impact of premorbid Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the recovery process following sport-related concussion (SRC) in adolescents is not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of ADHD together with other selected variables on symptom presentation and neurocognitive performance in a well-matched sample of adolescents with SRC. We hypothesized that more symptoms and poorer neurocognitive performance would be observed in those with ADHD. Symptoms from the Sideline Concussion Assessment Tool-5 and cognitive test results from the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPACT) were examined at initial visit, and symptoms were re-assessed at 3-months in a sample of 112 participants with (n = 56) and without (n = 56) ADHD (ages 12-18 years; M = 14.68, SD = 1.77) who were matched by age, sex, ethnicity/race, and days post-injury. Exclusion criteria included severe medical illness or moderate/severe brain injury and lack of English fluency. No significant group differences were found in total symptoms (p = .145), symptom severity (p = .179), or neurocognitive functioning at initial visit (all p > .79) or at 3 months. However, athletes with ADHD reported more nausea (p = 0.22) and feeling slowed down at initial testing (p = .021). Additionally, premorbid anxiety influenced symptom report (p = .010). ADHD did not appear to pose a specific risk for greater symptom burden or neurocognitive deficits in the first 3 months post-concussion.
期刊介绍：
The purposes of Child Neuropsychology are to:
publish research on the neuropsychological effects of disorders which affect brain functioning in children and adolescents,
publish research on the neuropsychological dimensions of development in childhood and adolescence and
promote the integration of theory, method and research findings in child/developmental neuropsychology.
The primary emphasis of Child Neuropsychology is to publish original empirical research. Theoretical and methodological papers and theoretically relevant case studies are welcome. Critical reviews of topics pertinent to child/developmental neuropsychology are encouraged.
Emphases of interest include the following: information processing mechanisms; the impact of injury or disease on neuropsychological functioning; behavioral cognitive and pharmacological approaches to treatment/intervention; psychosocial correlates of neuropsychological dysfunction; definitive normative, reliability, and validity studies of psychometric and other procedures used in the neuropsychological assessment of children and adolescents. Articles on both normal and dysfunctional development that are relevant to the aforementioned dimensions are welcome. Multiple approaches (e.g., basic, applied, clinical) and multiple methodologies (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, experimental, multivariate, correlational) are appropriate. Books, media, and software reviews will be published.
