Biomarkers Identified in Collegiate Athletes that Could Help Predict Time Needed to Recover from Concussion

A collaborative study conducted by scientists from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense (DOD), and multiple academic institutions has identified blood biomarkers that could help to predict which athletes need additional time to recover from a sports related concussion. This collaboration, known as the Concussion Assessment, Research, and Education (CARE) consortium, is supported, in part, by DOD and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). NINR Acting Scientific Director Jessica M. Gill, Ph.D., R.N., FAAN is a study author. The study is published in JAMA Network Open.
