Type of symptoms subject/participant has experienced since injury as related to the Acute Concussion Evaluation (ACE)
Ask patient (and/or parent, if child) to report presence of the four categories of symptoms since injury. It is important to assess all listed symptoms as different parts of the brain control different functions. One or all symptoms may be present depending upon mechanisms of injury. Record "1" for Yes or "0" for No for their presence or absence, respectively.
For all symptoms, indicate presence of symptoms as experienced within the past 24 hours. Since symptoms can be present premorbidity/at baseline (e.g., inattention, headaches, sleep, sadness), it is important to assess change from their usual presentation.
