May warrant autonomic monitoring in mTBI recovery; leaves open causal mortality links and intervention effects.
Autonomic dysfunction contributes significantly to mTBI symptoms and can persist beyond clinical recovery, necessitating further research for return-to-play protocols.
Esterov et al. (2017) studied this question. Autonomic dysfunction persists after mild traumatic brain injury and may contribute to cardiovascular dysregulation and increased mortality.
