Repetitive head impacts (RHI) are common in youth athletes participating in contact sports. RHI differ from concussions; they are considered hits to the head that usually do not result in acute symptoms and are therefore also referred to as “subconcussive” head impacts. RHI occur e.g., when heading the ball or during contact with another player. Evidence suggests that exposure to RHI may have cumulative effects on brain structure and function. However, little is known about brain alterations associated with RHI, or about the risk factors that may lead to clinical or behavioral sequelae. REPIMPACT is a prospective longitudinal study of competitive youth soccer players and non-contact sport controls aged 14 to 16 years. The study aims to characterize consequences of exposure to RHI with regard to behavior (i.e., cognition, and motor function), clinical sequelae (i.e., psychiatric and neurological symptoms), brain structure, function, diffusion and biochemistry, as well as blood- and saliva-derived measures of molecular processes associated with exposure to RHI (e.g., circulating microRNAs, neuroproteins and cytokines). Here we present the structure of the REPIMPACT Consortium which consists of six teams of clinicians and scientists in six countries. We further provide detailed information on the specific aims and the design of the REPIMPACT study. The manuscript also describes the progress made in the study thus far. Finally, we discuss important challenges and approaches taken to overcome these challenges.

REPIMPACT - 一项关于重复头部撞击对青少年足球的影响的前瞻性纵向多站点研究

重复性头部撞击 (RHI) 在参与接触运动的青年运动员中很常见。RHI 不同于脑震荡;它们被认为是头部撞击,通常不会导致急性症状,因此也被称为“亚脑震荡”头部撞击。RHI 发生在例如头球或与另一名球员接触时。有证据表明,暴露于 RHI 可能对大脑结构和功能产生累积影响。然而,关于与 RHI 相关的大脑改变或可能导致临床或行为后遗症的风险因素知之甚少。REPIMPACT 是一项针对 14 至 16 岁的竞技青年足球运动员和非接触式运动控制者的前瞻性纵向研究。该研究旨在描述暴露于 RHI 对行为(即认知和运动功能)的影响,临床后遗症(即精神和神经系统症状)、大脑结构、功能、扩散和生物化学,以及与暴露于 RHI 相关的分子过程的血液和唾液衍生措施(例如,循环 microRNA、神经蛋白和细胞因子)。在这里,我们介绍了 REPIMPACT 联盟的结构,该联盟由六个国家的六个临床医生和科学家团队组成。我们进一步提供了有关 REPIMPACT 研究的具体目标和设计的详细信息。该手稿还描述了迄今为止该研究取得的进展。最后,我们讨论了重要的挑战和为克服这些挑战而采取的方法。以及血液和唾液衍生的与暴露于 RHI 相关的分子过程的测量(例如,循环 microRNA、神经蛋白和细胞因子)。在这里,我们介绍了 REPIMPACT 联盟的结构,该联盟由六个国家的六个临床医生和科学家团队组成。我们进一步提供了有关 REPIMPACT 研究的具体目标和设计的详细信息。该手稿还描述了迄今为止该研究取得的进展。最后,我们讨论了重要的挑战和为克服这些挑战而采取的方法。以及血液和唾液衍生的与暴露于 RHI 相关的分子过程的测量(例如,循环 microRNA、神经蛋白和细胞因子)。在这里,我们介绍了 REPIMPACT 联盟的结构,该联盟由六个国家的六个临床医生和科学家团队组成。我们进一步提供了有关 REPIMPACT 研究的具体目标和设计的详细信息。该手稿还描述了迄今为止该研究取得的进展。最后,我们讨论了重要的挑战和为克服这些挑战而采取的方法。我们进一步提供了有关 REPIMPACT 研究的具体目标和设计的详细信息。该手稿还描述了迄今为止该研究取得的进展。最后,我们讨论了重要的挑战和为克服这些挑战而采取的方法。我们进一步提供了有关 REPIMPACT 研究的具体目标和设计的详细信息。该手稿还描述了迄今为止该研究取得的进展。最后,我们讨论了重要的挑战和为克服这些挑战而采取的方法。
