Background High altitude may affect concussion， but prior studies are limited 。 We tested whether high altitude affects sport-related concussion (SRC) incidence， severity， and recovery。 Methods Twenty-five thousand eight hundred fifteen baseline and post-injury Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing results were compiled from Florida and Colorado， low (27 m or 62 m) and high (1，640 m or 1，991 m) altitude locations， respectively。 Incidence， severity， and recovery of injury were compared between altitudes。 Results High altitude was associated with increased suspected concussion incidence (adjusted OR， 2。04 [95% CI， 1。86 to 2。24];P < 。0001)。 However， high altitude was associated with lower concussion severity measured by Severity Index (SI) (adjusted OR， 0。42 [95% CI， 0。37 to 0。49];P < 。0001)。 High altitude was associated with decreased recovery from post-concussive symptoms in the migraine (beta， -2。72 [95% CI， -3。31 to -2。13]; P < 。0001)， cognitive (beta， -1。88 [95% CI， -2。40 to -1。36]; P < 。0001)， and sleep symptom clusters (beta， -0。30 [95% CI， -0。52 to -0。08]; P = 。007)。 Athletes with initial SI >= 8 showed prolonged neurocognitive dysfunction at high altitude (HR， 1。38 [95% CI， 1。06 to 1。81]; P = 。02)。 Conclusions High altitude was associated with increased suspected concussions and prolonged recovery but less severe initial injury。
