In this session, we will discuss the differences in evaluation and management of concussion in female patients. We will begin by covering preclinical studies showing sex differences in pathology and behavior after TBII. We will at diagnostic differences focusing on biases in reporting and approaches. We will then look at differences in outcome. We will also discuss other disparities that exist in the approach to concussion. We will conclude with strategies on how to improve our diagnostic and treatment approaches to best fit the patient.
