Prevalence of post-concussion-like symptoms in the general population in Italy, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

CONCLUSIONS: We found a high frequency of post-concussion-like symptoms and PCS in the general population, indicating that these symptoms are not specific for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and PCS is not a unique syndrome after TBI. Therefore, the use of post-concussion symptoms and PCS as outcome following mild TBI should be interpreted with caution. PMID: 31032649 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
