The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in altered teaching and learning models outside the traditional in-person classroom, and elevated psychosocial stress and isolation among adolescents. It is unknown whether these changes affected QOL or academic challenges post-concussion. Hypothesis/Purpose: To compare self-reported QOL and academic challenges among concussed adolescents prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Concussed adolescents were enrolled from secondary schools and children's medical centers across seven sites into the Sport Concussion Outcomes in Pediatrics (SCOPE) study (PRiSM Concussion RIG). Participants completed demographics, medical history, symptom report, the Concussion Learning Assessment and School Survey (CLASS) and QOL via PROMIS Pediatric Global 25 during their first evaluation visit. Participants were grouped by date ranges: September 2018-January 2020 (Pre-COVID-19) and September 2020-May 2021 (COVID-19). No participants were enrolled between February-August 2020 (cessation of clinical research activities during this time.). Results: A total of 141 patients were enrolled. Mean age=14.9±2.4 years, 61% self-reported as male, 82% white and 85% not Hispanic or Latino, 5.2 + 3.1 days post-injury (range=1-14 days). Seventy-four patients were enrolled prior to COVID, and 67 were enrolled during COVID (Table 1). No significant differences were found between the 'Pre-COVID-19' group versus 'During COVID-19' group in symptom resolution, symptom severity score, QOL, or academic concerns (Table 2). The only difference was the 'person at school who is best to coordinate support.' A significantly lower proportion of participants who sustained their concussion during COVID-19 reported their principal/assistant principal would be the best person to coordinate support compared to those who sustained their concussion before the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, a significantly higher proportion of those who sustained their concussion during the COVID-19 pandemic reported their coach would be the best person to coordinate support. Conclusion: In this convenience yet nationally representative sample, students who sustained a concussion during the pandemic did not report increased academic concerns or reduced QOL compared to those whose injury was prior to the pandemic. Median symptom severity was lower during the pandemic, though not statistically significant. These findings could represent shifted priorities of the principal/assistant principal but still adequate support from medical and school-based staff; less academic stress and greater flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic; or may represent limitations in the CLASS instrument to detect differences that occurred during the pandemic.
