Abstract in brief

  • The CDC has created guidelines for diagnosing and managing mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussion in children due to a rise in emergency visits, but until now, no evidence-based standards existed in the U.S.
  • The guidelines were developed by a workgroup that reviewed studies from 1990 to 2015, incorporating scientific evidence, principles, and expert opinion to create 19 specific recommendations.
  • These recommendations cover key areas like diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, use of imaging, symptom evaluation, and monitoring, with varying levels of obligation (must, should, may) based on how strong the evidence is.
