Observational, cohort, correlation, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were all included in the current review. Results of the review found eight articles that met inclusion criteria, which included data on 214 athletes and 96 controls. Seven of eight studies reported some type of DTI abnormality, although the neuroanatomical sites involved varied. Although considerable methodological variations exist across studies, the current review suggests that DTI may possess adequate diagnostic sensitivity to detect SRC in affected athletes. Further longitudinal studies are required to demonstrate its discriminate validity and prognostic capacity within this field.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:05 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28612 p=0.01); the higher body mass index was partially explained by PTHP (R² change=0.07, p=0.001). Otherwise no significant correlation was found among PTHP, functioning, or patient-reported quality of life. This study—which is unique in the homogeneity of the patients, the long follow-up time, and the use of injury severity as an outcome predictor—did not confirm results from previous studies linking PTHP to a worse outcome. Therefore, screening for PTHP might be restricted to specific subgroups such as overweight patients, indicating growth hormone deficiency.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:58 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30908 Mon 23 Sep 2019 11:39:39 AEST ]]>
