The Influence of Self-Reported Tobacco Use on Baseline Concussion Assessments.

CONCLUSIONS: Tobacco users performed significantly worse than tobacco nonusers on the impulse control section of the ImPACT, reported greater symptom severity scores on the ImPACT, and were more likely to take risks as measured by the BSSS. Despite statistical significance, these results should be interpreted with caution, as the overall effect sizes were very small. Future research should examine the influence of tobacco use on recovery post-concussion. PMID: 31603220 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
