abstract="OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the concussion-related symptoms reported among combat sport athletes with and without a history of concussion, and a  history of neck injury. <br><br>DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Data were collected  using an online survey instrument. PARTICIPANTS: Three hundred and nine adult combat  sport athletes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Self-reported 12-month concussion history and  neck injury history and a 22-item symptom checklist. <br><br>RESULTS: A history of  concussion was reported by 19.1% of athletes, a history of neck injury was reported  by 23.0%, and 13.6% reported both injuries. Neck pain was the most frequently  reported symptom. Athletes with a history of injury had significantly greater  proportions of 'high' total symptoms and symptom severity scores compared with  athletes with no history of injury. Athletes with a history of concussion had 2.35  times higher odds of reporting 'high' total symptoms and symptoms severity scores. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Athletes with a history of concussion or neck injury have greater odds  of presenting with higher symptom scores. The presence of high total symptom scores  and high symptom severity scores may indicate a need for further investigation into  domains commonly associated with concussion.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
