性别差异在经颅多普勒超声测量功能和自我报告的症状与体育运动有关的脑震荡

脑震荡严重程度在性别上的差异和恢复的可能性仍然是一个有争议的话题。一些研究显示,女性受试者承受更长一段症状恢复相比男性,而其他的研究并没有表现出显著差异。在本回顾性研究中,我们探讨了性别的影响冲击自述症状和生理特性(TCD)捕获以前显示出与激动。共75例,平均年龄为16.2岁(1.16),包括51岁男性和24岁女性,评价不同分post-injury-after遭受临床诊断与体育运动有关的脑震荡。课题首先回答了一系列症状的相关问题基于整数评定量表。速度从大脑中动脉(MCA)受到声波的作用通过双边transtemporal windows和浴室。基线期之后,受试者参与4了挑战。使用指数(PI)从基线计算部分,而呼吸持有指数(BHI)计算部分的挑战。具有抑制受损,延伸在前10天明显高于女性受试者的症状评分。此外,复苏的长度更长,持续14天至9天相比,整体意味着症状评分前回到基线; The BHI and PI were not significantly different between genders. The elevated symptom scores for the female subjects without a significant correlation to physiologic measurements is possibly due to reporting bias. The population consisted of high school aged athletes who were motivated to return to play, perhaps explaining why the male population reported lower symptom severity than the female population. However, the potential of increased severity in the female population cannot be overlooked. This pilot study illustrates the need for more focused research on gender differences in concussion pathophysiology.
