Objective:

To determine if ADHD status in collegiate athletes was associated with differences in the number of diagnosed and nondisclosed sport-related concussions, and reasons why suspected concussive injuries were not reported.

Method:

A cross-sectional survey was completed by 858 collegiate athletes (65 with ADHD; 793 without ADHD). The survey included self-report items regarding ADHD status and histories of diagnosed and nondisclosed sport-related concussions. Groups were matched for gender, age, and sport with a ratio of one participant with ADHD to four without ADHD.

Results:

Collegiate athletes with ADHD reported significantly more diagnosed sport-related concussions and were more likely to have a history of diagnosis compared to those without ADHD. There were no significant differences between groups regarding sport-related concussion nondisclosure history.

Conclusion:

Collegiate athletes with ADHD have an increased prevalence rate of diagnosed sport-related concussions compared to those without ADHD; however, this developmental disorder may not influence injury nondisclosure decisions.

已诊断和未公开的运动相关脑震荡：大学生运动员多动症状态的探索性比较研究

客观的：

确定大学运动员的 ADHD 状态是否与已诊断和未公开的运动相关脑震荡数量的差异有关，以及未报告疑似脑震荡损伤的原因。

方法：

858 名大学生运动员（65 名患有 ADHD；793 名没有 ADHD）完成了一项横断面调查。该调查包括有关 ADHD 状态的自我报告项目以及诊断和未公开的与运动相关的脑震荡的历史。各组在性别、年龄和运动方面进行匹配，一名患有 ADHD 的参与者与四名没有 ADHD 的参与者的比例。

结果：

与没有 ADHD 的运动员相比，患有 ADHD 的大学生运动员报告的与运动相关的脑震荡明显更多，并且更有可能有诊断史。关于运动相关的脑震荡保密史，各组之间没有显着差异。

结论：

与没有 ADHD 的运动员相比，患有 ADHD 的大学生运动员被诊断出与运动相关的脑震荡的患病率更高；然而，这种发育障碍可能不会影响伤害保密决定。
