2. All of the following are the primary causes of traumatic brain injury in patients seen in the Emergency Department, except for:

3. Findings from this study show that the presence and frequency of post-traumatic headache are associated with the SCAT-3 symptom severity score, especially with the _____ SCAT-3 symptoms.

4. The SCAT-3 symptom scores might be a useful tool for neurologists and headache specialists as they incorporate all of the following, except:

5. TBI was found to be more prevalent in women than men in this study of non-athlete civilian patients.

7. Which of the following is associated with higher SCAT-3 symptom severity and SCAT-3 symptom scores?

8. Post-traumatic headache patients have higher SCAT-3 symptom scores than headache-free patients only when the “headache” symptom is counted when calculating the SCAT-3 symptom scores.

9. Compared to the headache-free patients, when comparing SCAT-3 symptoms for each of the four symptom categories individually, post-traumatic headache patients have significantly higher cognitive SCAT-3 symptoms.

10. When comparing the subjective and objective assessments, the SCAT-3 self-reported symptoms of balance, concentration, and memory correlate with the modified BESS and SAC scores, which supports the use of the scores among a heterogeneous population of concussion patients who are not necessarily athletes.

12. The SCAT-3 seems to be a good tool to evaluate post-traumatic headache in the general population of post-concussion patients.
