[52] Incidence rates for concussions in NCAA men's basketball is lower than NCAA women's basketball, at 0.16 concussion per 1,000 athletes compared to 0.22 per 1,000 athletes respectively.
On-field predictors of injury severity can define return-to-play guidelines and urgency of care, but past criteria have either lacked sufficient incidence for effective utility, [10] [11] did not directly address the severity of the injury, [12] or have become cumbersome and fraught with inter-rater reliability issues.
Researchers have reported an overall incidence of 0.89 injuries/1000 hours for high school track and field athletes, while others have found specific injury incidence in youth track and field varies among disciplines, with a reported incidence rate of 3.9 injuries/1000 hours of practice in senior athletics.

Loss of consciousness during the second injury is not necessary for SIS to occur. [8] [9] Both injuries may take place in the same game. [10] The athlete may continue playing in the game after the second concussion, and may walk off the field without assistance, but symptoms quickly progress and the condition can rapidly worsen. [11]
