{"doi":"10.1093/jpepsy/jsaf075","title":"Memory outcomes and interventions after sports-related traumatic brain injuries in pediatric and young adult athletes: a scoping review.","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: Numerous pediatric and young adult athletes sustain sports-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) annually. One of the most common cognitive symptoms of TBIs is memory impairment. This scoping review aimed to synthesize literature on memory impairments following a sports-related TBI and what intervention programs are available to support post-TBI memory rehabilitation in pediatric and young adult athletes. METHODS: Following the PRISMA guidelines, studies that examined memory after a sports-related TBI in athletes 24 years old and younger were eligible for inclusion. Among 1,067 abstracts screened, 161 full texts were reviewed and a total of 95 articles were included in this review. Risk of bias was also evaluated, including selection bias, measurement bias, and bias related to the reporting of data. RESULTS: 95 full-text articles were included in this review. 60 of 84 (71.43%) studies that included a comparison group or baseline score, observed a decrease in memory functions post-TBI in at least one type of memory. Visual and verbal memory were the two most studied types of memory, which were typically measured by the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT). American football and soccer were the most studied sports among the injured athletes. Only three interventional studies were identified that examined post-TBI memory rehabilitation in this population. CONCLUSIONS: Memory impairment is common following a sport-related TBI in pediatric and young adult athletes. However, there is a lack of interventional efforts that target this cognitive deficit post-TBI.","journal":"PubMed","year":2025,"id":546616,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":1,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9485,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2025-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1438716,"name":"Skylar D Charles","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":816959,"name":"Megan H.
