Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a common injury in recreational and organised sport. Over the past 30 years, there has been significant progress in our scientific understanding of SRC, which in turn has driven the development of clinical guidelines for diagnosis, assessment and management of SRC. In addition to a growing need for knowledgeable healthcare professionals to provide evidence-based care for athletes with SRC, media attention and legislation have created awareness and, in some cases, fear about many issues and unknowns surrounding SRC. The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) formed a writing group to review the existing literature on SRC, update its previous position statement, and to address current evidence and knowledge gaps regarding SRC. The absence of definitive outcomes-based data is challenging and requires relying on the best available evidence integrated with clinical experience and patient values. This statement reviews the definition, pathophysiology and epidemiology of SRC, the diagnosis and management of both acute and persistent concussion symptoms, the short-term and long-term risks of SRC and repetitive head impact exposure, SRC prevention strategies, and potential future directions for SRC research. The AMSSM is committed to best clinical practices, evidence-based research and educational initiatives that positively impact the health and safety of athletes.

This article presents the Child Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5th Edition (Child SCAT5). The Sport Concussion Assessment Tool was introduced in 2004, following the 2nd International Conference on Concussion in Sport in Prague, Czech Republic. Following the 4th International Consensus Conference, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2012, the SCAT 3rd edition (Child SCAT3) was developed for children aged between 5 and12 years. Research to date was reviewed and synthesised for the 5th International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport in Berlin, Germany, leading to the current revision of the test, the Child SCAT5. This article describes the development of the Child SCAT5.

Statistics: word count (excluding abstract, tables, and references):Author Note: To the editor-in-chief of BJSM, Dr. Karim Khan, the present paper has been commissioned by Professor Lars Engebretsen and is intended to be part of the BJSM IPHP theme issue on concussion in March 2017. This paper is internally reviewed by the expert group represented at the Berlin Consensus meeting on Concussion in Sport in October 2016. The SCAT5 assessment tool will be uploaded once artwork is complete.Page 3 AbstractThe Concussion Recognition Tool 5 (CRT5) is the most recent revision of the Pocket SCAT2 that was initially introduced by the Concussion In Sport Group in 2005.[1] The CRT5 is designed to assist non-medically trained individuals to recognize the signs and symptoms of possible sport-related concussion (SRC) and provides guidance for removing an athlete from play/sport and to seek medical attention . This paper presents the development of the CRT5 and highlights the differences between the CRT5 and prior versions of the instrument.
