• Correspondence to Professor Gavin A Davis, Neurosurgery, Cabrini Health, Malvern, VIC 3144, Australia; gavin.davis@me.com Background and rationale The Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) introduced tools for assessment and management of concussion in 2004.1 Age-appropriate, child-specific tools were introduced in 2012.2 The most recent iteration, the Child Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5 (Child SCAT5) was introduced in 2016,3 and has been determined to be most effective in the acute stage following sport-related concussion (SRC), and up to day 7 post-injury.4 Based on feedback from clinicians, the CISG scientific committee determined that a tool for assessment and management of SRC in the subacute period (beyond 72 hours post-injury) would be useful, and established the process for development of the Sport Concussion Office Assessment Tool 6 (SCOAT6).5 Consistent with the approach for the SCAT and Child SCAT, the requirement for an age-appropriate version of the SCOAT6 for children aged 8–12 years led to the development of the Child SCOAT6. Importantly, no validated or normative data are available to support use in this age group, and caution is required in its use in younger children. During the Amsterdam meeting, considerations related to the para athlete were emphasised, and the paucity of data on the paediatric para athlete suggests that significant work is required to develop age-appropriate tools for the para athlete in school, community and elite sport settings.
