The cervical spine region can be especially vulnerable to concurrent injury in concussion, with research suggesting that females may be at greater risk due to their weaker and anatomically distinct necks. The main objective of our research was to study sex differences in the rate of neck injury comorbidity across the life span among patients with a concussion diagnosis in the emergency department (ED) setting, by cause of injury (motor vehicle collisions [MVC] and sports).
