Post-Concussion Syndrome Following Blast Injury: A Cross-Sectional Study of Beirut Blast Casualties

Our study revealed a remarkably high prevalence of PCS among survivors of the Beirut blast, with younger individuals and females disproportionately affected. This highlights the need for age- and sex-specific rehabilitation and support programs. However, the study was limited by incomplete patients records and contact information, leading to the exclusion of a significant number of patients who initially presented to the ED. Ultimately, this study underscores the crucial role of robust public health preparedness and specialized care pathways against future large-scale catastrophes. Further assessment, including neurobiomarker evaluation, will be conducted on these survivors.
