Abstract

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion, can lead to persistent cognitive and functional symptoms that impede quality of life to a varying extent. This condition is referred to as post-concussive syndrome (PCS). Sleep disturbances are part of it but their distribution among different genders remains scarcely investigated. This pilot cross-sectional anonymous web-based survey interviewed volunteer 18–55 years old participants with a recent (i.e., less than 5 years) reported history of mTBI. Questionnaires related to persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS; Rivermead post-concussion symptoms questionnaire), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) and daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) were administered as part of the survey. Ninety-one participants’ responses were analysed (61 female; 30 male); 43% of them suffered from post-concussive syndrome, 60% reported poor sleep quality and 34% experienced excessive daytime sleepiness. The proportion of PPCS was significantly higher in female participants as compared to males (female: 57%; male: 13%; Fisher’s exact test p < 0.001). Excessive daytime sleepiness was also significantly more present in females (female: 44%; male: 13%; p < 0.001) whereas poor sleep quality was present in similar proportions between females and males (female: 66%; male: 50%; p = 0.176). Even though based on a relatively small sample, these findings highlight important gender differences that should be accounted for in PPCS medical care and management.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
