Key Points Question What factors are associated with recovery in pediatric patients with mild traumatic brain injury or concussion? Findings In this cohort study of 600 pediatric patients presenting to concussion clinics in 3 centers, girls and women experienced slower recovery and were more likely to have preexisting anxiety compared with boys and men. Independent of sex, patients with anxiety or depression or migraine recovered more slowly than those without these comorbidities. Meaning These findings suggest that factors, such as sex and comorbidities, in pediatric patients with mild traumatic brain injury are essential for accurate prognostic estimates and identifying targets for treatment.
