Background: Growing concern surrounds the risk of neurodegenerative diseases in high-level collision sports, but research on Rugby Union's connection to these diseases is limited.
Objective: This study sought to examine the long-term neurodegenerative disease risk associated with participation in high-level Rugby Union ('rugby'), utilising whole-population administrative records.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study in New Zealand compared males born between 1920 and 1984 who were active in high-level (provincial or higher) rugby between 1950 and 2000 (n = 12,861) with males from the general population (n = 2,394,300), matched by age, ethnicity, and birthplace.

Objectives: To evaluate changes in psychological symptoms and sleep quality at three clinically relevant milestones following adolescent concussion: while symptomatic, at symptom resolution, and about 2 months after symptom resolution.
Study Design: We conducted a secondary analysis of a multisite, longitudinal investigation of adolescent concussion recovery. Participants enrolled < 21 days following concussion and completed self-report questionnaires (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS] Pediatric Global 25 anxiety and depressive symptom domains, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]) at three time points: visit 1 (symptomatic), visit 2 (<14 days after symptom resolution), and visit 3 (2 months after symptom resolution).

Background: Symptom-limited exercise intolerance is a physiological sign of sport-related concussion. Possible etiologies include rest-induced aerobic deconditioning and/or impaired cardiopulmonary function.
Objective: This study examined cardiovascular and respiratory function at rest and during progressive cycle ergometer exercise in adolescents within 10 days of sport-related concussion compared with non-concussed athletes.

Objectives: The objectives were threefold: 1) To utilize machine learning (ML) to create a model for predicting concussion recovery time using routine clinical metrics, 2) To compare predictive factors within a ML model to previously identified risk factors, and 3) To compare predictive ability of ML models to traditional logistic regression.
Methods: North Texas Concussion Registry (ConTex) data were prospectively collected during an initial post-injury clinic visit and 3-month follow-up. ML models classified 1000 participants with sport- or recreation-related injuries, ages 6-59, into ordinal recovery time groups.
