One-third of children with concussion have ongoing physical, thinking, emotional or behavioral symptoms beyond one month, known as persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS).

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is among the most common reason that children visit the Emergency Department, with approximately 50,000 visits every year in Canada. Within the pediatric group, young children aged 0-4 years and adolescents aged 15-19 years are most likely to sustain a TBI.
