Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wide Range Achievement Test Fourth Edition, WRAT-4 | Pre-anesthetic to one week Post-anesthetic | Change in WRAT-4 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric Pain Scale 0-10 | Post-operatively to hospital discharge, up to 10 days. | Difference in numeric pain scale between the concussion and non-concussion group. Patients verbally select a value that is in line with the intensity of pain they have experienced in the last 24 hours. Pain Scale is recorded 0 = no pain, 10 = the most pain imaginable. |
| Oral morphine equivalent of consumed opioids | Post-operatively to hospital discharge, up to 10 days. | Difference of post-operative opioid use between the concussion and non-concussion group |
| Length of hospital stay | Post-operatively to hospital discharge, up to 30 days. | Difference between the concussion and non-concussion group |
| Cognitive Deficits identified by NeuroPsychometric Cognitive Testing | Pre-anesthetic to one week Post-anesthetic | Difference between the concussion and non-concussion group. |
| Sport Concussion Assessment Tool - 5th edition, SCAT-5 | Pre-anesthetic to one week Post-anesthetic | The SCAT5 is a standardized tool for evaluating concussions designed for use by physicians and licensed medical professionals. Difference in SCAT5 scores between the concussion and non-concussion group. SCAT5 scores the number of symptoms (0-22) present and the severity of symptoms (0-132). |
