Baseline ImPACT Composite Scores in Student-Athletes With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p>Athletes who are diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk of concussion compared to other athletes. Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) is a widely used concussion tool, but it relies on pre-injury baseline testing that can be affected by psychiatric conditions. This research aims to determine if there are differences in pre-injury testing composite scores in student-athletes with ADHD compared to those without ADHD diagnosis.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>We obtained 11,563 pre-season ImPACT assessments of 7,454 student-athletes (ages: 12–22) from 2009 to 2019. After exclusions, there were 6,920 control and 276 ADHD subjects. Multivariable linear regression analyses compared the independent effect of ADHD on the six ImPACT composite score metrics with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons with a = 0.008.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Univariate analyses indicated ADHD is associated with more symptoms as measured by the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) (β = 2.67, 95% CI: 1.47–3.87, p &lt; .0001) and worse Impulse Control scores (β = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.33–1.53, p = .002). In multivariate analysis, this association was the same for symptom score (β = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.22–3.74, p &lt; .0001), but Impulse Control was not significantly different after multiple comparison adjustment (β = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.22–1.15, p = .009).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>The ADHD subjects reported worse symptoms at baseline and had worse Impulse Control in univariate analysis, but not multivariate analysis. These results can further guide clinicians in concussion diagnosis and test interpretations for student-athletes with ADHD, considering the symptom burden at baseline.</jats:p></jats:sec>
