For over two decades, the Concussion in Sport Group has held meetings and developed five international statements on concussion in sport. This 6th statement summarises the processes and outcomes of the 6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport held in Amsterdam on 27-30 October 2022 and should be read in conjunction with the (1) methodology paper that outlines the consensus process in detail and (2) 10 systematic reviews that informed the conference outcomes. Over 3½ years, author groups conducted systematic reviews of predetermined priority topics relevant to concussion in sport. The format of the conference, expert panel meetings and workshops to revise or develop new clinical assessment tools, as described in the methodology paper, evolved from previous consensus meetings with several new components. Apart from this consensus statement, the conference process yielded revised tools including the Concussion Recognition Tool-6 (CRT6) and Sport Concussion Assessment Tool-6 (SCAT6, Child SCAT6), as well as a new tool, the Sport Concussion Office Assessment Tool-6 (SCOAT6, Child SCOAT6). This consensus process also integrated new features including a focus on the para athlete, the athlete's perspective, concussion-specific medical ethics and matters related to both athlete retirement and the potential long-term effects of SRC, including neurodegenerative disease. This statement summarises evidence-informed principles of concussion prevention, assessment and management, and emphasises those areas requiring more research. SPORT-RELATED CONCUSSION The Consensus Statement from the Berlin 2016 International Conference on Concussion in Sport 9 refers to the '11 Rs' of SRC (RECOGNISE, REDUCE, REMOVE, REFER, RE-EVALUATE , REST, REHABILITATE, RECOVER, RETURN-TO-LEARN/RETURN-TO-SPORT, RECONSIDER and RESIDUAL EFFECTS) to provide a logical flow of clinical concussion Key points Continued ⇒ Concussion diagnosis and management in para athletes is challenging with limited data, requiring further research and dedicated clinical recommendations that consider a range of impairments. ⇒ Future research and consensus processes for concussion in sport should continue to evolve with an inclusive and interdisciplinary approach.
International Symposium on Concussion in Sport
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2001
and the International Olympic Committee Medical Commission (IOC) is organising an International Symposium on Concussion in Sport. Faced with the increasing incidence of this potentially dangerous injury in ice hockey and other sports, we have gathered the leading medical experts from all parts of the world and from a wide sampling of diVerent sports, experienced in dealing with sports related head injuries. Our objective is to understand, as completely as possible, what actually takes place when severe blows to the head occur. It is our hope, that with the information learned, we can begin educating our athletes with the goal of eliminating concussions in all sports. We are most grateful to the esteemed presenters for their extraordinary eVorts, and to the many others who have submitted abstracts and papers for consideration.

The aim of the symposium was to provide recommendations for the improvement of safety and health of athletes who suffer concussive injuries in ice hockey, football (soccer), and other sports. To this end a range of experts were invited to address specific issues of epidemiology, basic and clinical science, grading systems, cognitive assessment, new research methods, protective equipment, management, prevention, and long term outcome, and to discuss a unitary model for understanding concussive injury. At the conclusion of the conference, a small group of experts were given a mandate by the conference delegates and organising bodies to draft a document describing the agreement position reached by those in attendance at that meeting. For the purpose of this paper, this group will be called the Concussion in Sport Group (CISG).
