Key Points Question Do postacute mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) symptoms differ between men and women? Findings In this cohort study of 2000 patients with mTBI, the severity of cognitive and somatic symptoms on the Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire at 12 months after injury was significantly worse in women than in men, whereas this difference was not significant in an orthopedic trauma control group. The association between mTBI and somatic symptoms was greater in women aged 35 to 49 years than those aged 17 to 34 years or older than 50 years. Meaning Sex and age may be important factors in the individualized, postacute treatment of patients with mTBI.
