This study shows no evidence that remote mTBI(s) or implicated post-concussiveclinical features are linked to GHD, hypothyroidism or male hypogonadism. Large case-controlstudies incorporating more definitive neuroendocrine disorder NED testing (TSH plus thyroxine, early morning testosterone, LH, FSH, prolactin and GH provocative testing) are needed to determine whether mTBI(s) alone elevate one's risk for chronic NED and how best to select patients for comprehensive testing.
