Sport Concussion Assessment Tool: Baseline and clinical reference limits for concussion diagnosis and management in elite rugby union

This study evaluates SCAT performances in 13479 baseline SCAT assessments, and proposes clear reference limits for each sub-component of the SCAT5. Baseline reference limits are proposed to guide management of baseline testing by identifying abnormal su b-tests, enhancing the clinical validity of baseline screens, while clinical reference limits are identified to support concussion diagnosis when no baseline is available.
