Summary: This research identified the top 10 research questions in concussion based on the perspectives of patients, caregivers, and clinicians. The questions mainly focused on early and accurate concussion diagnosis, effective symptom management, and prediction of poor outcomes. These questions can provide guidance to the concussion research community and help prioritize funding for research that matters most to patients and their caregivers.

Summary: Good clinical practice guidelines are based on randomized controlled trials or clinical series, but the bias in technical performance among surgical trials is often overlooked. Variations in technical performance within different treatment groups can reduce the quality of evidence. Surgeon variability in technical performance, even after certification, can have an impact on surgical outcomes, particularly in complex procedures. Measuring technical performance quality through image or video documentation of the surgeon's view field during procedures can improve the homogeneity of surgical series and contribute to evidence-based surgery.
