Popis:	This study found that a delayed presentation to a specialty concussion clinic (30 or more days post-injury) regardless of previous evaluation was associated with poorer recovery outcomes in adults compared to those with an earlier presentation. Time from injury to a formal clinical evaluation of a concussion should be considered at initial evaluation by all providers and incorporated into prognosis and treatment planning. Concussion educational programs should be developed specifically for adults to promote recognition of concussions and importance of seeking prompt evaluation by specialized providers for this injury.
