“…The SCAT5 systematic review14 concluded that studies employing the SCAT (all forms) or its components generally had a low to moderate levels of bias and were generalisable to the larger population, although variability was noted in methodologies, risk of bias, quality of evidence and presentation of data. Overall, the graded symptom checklist, SAC and BESS/mBESS were found to be most useful immediately postinjury in differentiating concussed from non-concussed athletes when using either intraindividual or normative baseline/postinjury comparisons.…”

“…The SCAT5 systematic review14 consisted of five different but inter-related searches covering: (1) adult SCAT; (2) child SCAT; (3) sideline assessment; (4) video surveillance/observable signs of concussion and (5) oculomotor assessment. The present paper will only focus on the SCAT5 (for athletes aged over 12 years).…”

“…The complete SCAT5 can be found at the end of this article. The Child SCAT5 is used to evaluate SRC in children 5–12 years old 14. A separate tool, the Concussion Recognition Tool 5 (CRT5),16 was developed for use by non-medically trained individuals to assist in the identification and initial management of suspected SRC.…”

This paper presents the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5th Edition (SCAT5), which is the most recent revision of a sport concussion evaluation tool for use by healthcare professionals in the acute evaluation of suspected concussion. The revision of the SCAT3 (first published in 2013) culminated in the SCAT5. The revision was based on a systematic review and synthesis of current research, public input and expert panel review as part of the 5th International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport held in Berlin in 2016. The SCAT5 is intended for use in those who are 13 years of age or older. The Child SCAT5 is a tool for those aged 5-12 years, which is discussed elsewhere.

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.

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.
