Abstract: Sport-related concussion (SRC) is an important public health concern with up to 3.8 million SRCs occurring each year. As the incidence and rate of SRC increases, reliable and valid tools for diagnosis and management are needed. The King-Devick (K-D) test assesses a patient’s visual function based on reading a series of numbers as well as counting both time to completion and errors. Its rapid administration time and simplicity make the K-D test a potentially useful SRC diagnostic tool, though limitations exist in baseline testing and what constitutes an abnormal score. Additionally, the K-D tests should never be used in isolation to diagnose a concussion, but rather as one test in conjunction with additional clinical measures, as part of an individualized approach to each patient. The current review examines the clinical utility of the K-D test.

脑震荡的现场评估：King-Devick检验的临床实用性

摘要：运动相关性脑震荡（SRC）是一项重要的公共卫生问题，每年发生多达380万个SRC。随着SRC的发生率和发生率的增加，需要可靠且有效的诊断和管理工具。King-Devick（KD）测试通过读取一系列数字以及计算完成时间和错误来评估患者的视觉功能。它的快速管理时间和简便性使KD测试成为潜在有用的SRC诊断工具，尽管在基线测试中存在局限性，并且构成异常评分的因素也很多。此外，决不能单独使用KD测试来诊断脑震荡，而应将它作为一项结合其他临床措施的测试，作为针对每个患者的个性化方法的一部分。当前的审查检查了KD测试的临床效用。
