Role of sex and gender in concussion outcome differences among patients presenting to the emergency department: a systematic review
Conclusion
This systematic review highlighted that sex is reported more accurately than gender, approximately half of studies did not report either sex and/or gender as demographic information, and one-third of studies did not include SGBA. There were important sex and gender differences in the cause, ED presentation, management and outcomes of concussions.
