Study: NCT03844282

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Clinical assessment (SCAT5)
Description: The SCAT5 is a standardized tool for evaluating sports-related concussions designed for use by physicians and licensed healthcare professionals in patients aged 13 years and above. It is a ten minute paper-based assessment which includes immediate and office/off-field assessments. SCAT5 incorporates the Maddocks' questions, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), cervical spine assessment and symptom evaluation, in addition to cognitive and neurological screening.

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: ImPACT
Description: ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) is a neurocognitive assessment administered online or using desktop software in a controlled environment. ImPACT has two components: baseline testing and post-injury testing, both of which are used to determine if a patient can safely return to sporting activity post-concussion.

Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Intervention: CANTAB
Description: Originally developed at the University of Cambridge, the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) platform includes highly sensitive, precise and objective measures of cognitive function, correlated to neural networks. These tests have demonstrated sensitivity to detecting changes in neuropsychological performance and include tests of working memory, learning and executive function; visual, verbal and episodic memory; attention, information processing and reaction time; social and emotion recognition, decision making and response control.~The CANTAB touchscreen battery (www.camcog.com) will be utilised to perform neuropsychological assessments within RESCUE-RACER, whose study-specific protocol may include assessments of: Spatial Working Memory (working memory and strategy), Reaction Time (processing and psychomotor speed), Paired Associated Learning and the Multi-Tasking Test.

Intervention: I-PAS/Dx100
Description: I-PAS™ (now re-named Dx 100) is a portable, head-mounted, neural functional assessment tool. With its integrated clinical eye tracking and digital display, the FDA has cleared (K171884) fourteen tests and an unmatched list of variables for clinical use for a variety of conditions. This utility of this device will be investigated for motorsport-related concussion.

Intervention type: BIOLOGICAL
Intervention: Saliva sample
Description: Micro RNA's (miRNA's) are easily measured in saliva and have proven to have both diagnostic and prognostic use in sports-related concussion across the adolescent and adult populations, with levels persisting for some weeks after the concussive event. RESCUE-RACER will collect saliva samples for analysis of biomarkers of concussion, which may include miRNA and other markers of injury.
