Excited to share our publication examining differences in acute presentation and RTP in @NFL Players based upon whether a fencing response was observed after concussion. No difference was found in RTP time or symptom recovery @PittNeurosurg @Pitt_NCTC

Check out our latest paper from TRACK-TBI, examining follow up rates in mTBI patients presenting to the ED. 1 in 2 participants who reported "I don't need follow up care" had poor clinical outcomes at 6- and 12-months post-injury @Pitt_NCTC @PittNeurosurg

Excited to see our work with TRACK-TBI published in @GreenJournal ! We report clinical cutoffs for RPQ at 2 weeks post-injury to predict worse 6 month outcomes in mTBI patients. @Pitt_NCTC @PittNeurosurg

Congratulations to co-director Dr. Ava Puccio for being awarded a U01 from NINDS as contact PI titled "Analytical characterization and validation of blood-biomarkers for monitoring TBI evaluation"!!

Had an awesome conversation with the hosts of the @SportsNeuroSoc podcast about mental health following concussion and the potential of predictive biomarkers for guiding targeted treatments. Thanks for having me!

I am very proud of our predictive blood biomarker work and think this concept could become standard of care in the future for targeted TBI therapies. Check out our work in @J_Neurotrauma ! @PittNeurosurg @Pitt_NCTC

Major breakthrough in concussion and TBI research from David Okonkwo, Ava Puccio and TRACK-TBI colleagues. A blood test—using 2-3 drops of blood—analyzed at bedside, can detect brain injuries within minutes. More at bit.ly/3xmcoDY. @AbbottNews @UPMC @Pitt_NCTC @PittTweet

Fifteen @PittTweet neurosurgeons were named among the top doctors in their field in a national survey conducted by @CastleConnolly, an independent research group with the mission of helping people find the best in healthcare. neurosurgery.pitt.edu/news/p…
NCTC Director Dr. David Okonkwo is in the top 10 most published authors on traumatic brain injury over the last 22 years!
@PittTweet was also the 7th most published institution on TBI over this span. Read the paper below! @PittNeurosurg @UPMCSportsMed
