TLDR
Of 131 patients with mild concussion, 19 (14.5%) still had symptoms after 1 year, and eight of these patients were involved in law suits and 6 had been suspected of malingering 6 weeks after their accident.Abstract:
Of 131 patients with mild concussion, 19 (14.5%) still had symptoms after 1 year. Of these 19 patients, 10 had some symptoms of which they had not complained at 6 weeks. Symptoms at 1 year were more common among women and among patients who had had positive neurological findings at 24 h. Of the 19 patients who had symptoms at 1 year, 8 were involved in law suits and 6 had been suspected of malingering 6 weeks after their accident. Five of these patients were both involved in law suits and suspected of malingering.read more

TL;DR: There was consistent and methodologically sound evidence that children's prognosis after mild traumatic brain injury is good, with quick resolution of symptoms and little evidence of residual cognitive, behavioural or academic deficits.

The Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire: a measure of symptoms commonly experienced after head injury and its reliability
TL;DR: The Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ) is presented as a measure of the severity of PCS and its reliability investigated, finding good reliability for individual PCS items generally, although with some variation between different symptoms.

Disability Caused by Minor Head Injury
TL;DR: The authors studied 538 patients who had sustained minor head trauma, which was defined as a history of unconsciousness of 20 minutes or less, a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13 to 15, and hospitalization not exceeding 48 hours.

Methodological issues and research recommendations for mild traumatic brain injury: the WHO Collaborating Centre Task Force on Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.
TL;DR: The WHO Collaborating Centre for Neurotrauma Task Force on Mild Traumatic Brain Injury performed a comprehensive search and critical review of the literature published between 1980 and 2002 to assemble the best evidence on the epidemiology, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of mild traumatic brain injury.

Mild traumatic brain injury: pathophysiology, natural history, and clinical management.
TL;DR: This review will provide a framework for clinical management of the patient with mild TBI, and the clinical deficits caused by the neurologic injury can be understood as manifestations of impaired attention.
