===Costs===
Due to the lack of a consistent definition, the economic costs of mTBI are not known, but they are estimated to be very high.<ref name="BorgWHO">{{cite journal | vauthors = Borg J, Holm L, Peloso PM, Cassidy JD, Carroll LJ, von Holst H, Paniak C, Yates D | display-authors = 6 | title = Non-surgical intervention and cost for mild traumatic brain injury: results of the WHO Collaborating Centre Task Force on Mild Traumatic Brain Injury | journal = Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine | volume = 36 | issue = 43 Suppl | pages = 76–83 | date = February 2004 | pmid = 15083872 | doi = 10.1080/16501960410023840 | doi-access = free }}</ref> These high costs are due in part to the large percentage of hospital admissions for head injury that is due to mild head trauma,<ref name="LevinHS"/> but indirect costs such as lost work time and early retirement account for the bulk of the costs.<ref name=BorgWHO/> These direct and indirect costs cause the expense of mild brain trauma to rival that of moderate and severe head injuries.<ref name=Silver05>{{cite book|vauthors=Kraus JF, Chu LD |chapter=Epidemiology |veditors=Silver JM, McAllister TW, Yudofsky SC |year=2005 | title=Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury |publisher=American Psychiatric Pub., Inc |isbn=978-1-58562-105-7 |page=23}}</ref>

===Terminology===
The terms mild brain injury, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), mild head injury (MHI), and concussion may be used interchangeably;<ref name="ncipc">{{cite web |author=National Center for Injury Prevention and Control |year=2003 |url=https://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/pub-res/mtbi/mtbireport.pdf |title=Report to congress on mild traumatic brain injury in the United States: Steps to prevent a serious public health problem |location=Atlanta, GA |publisher=Centers for Disease Control and Prevention |access-date=2008-01-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080228143923/http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/pub-res/mtbi/mtbireport.pdf |archive-date=2008-02-28 }}</ref><ref name=Petchprapai07/> although the term "concussion" is still used in sports literature as interchangeable with "MHI" or "mTBI", the general clinical medical literature uses "mTBI" instead, since a 2003 [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]] report outlined it as an important strategy.<ref name="BarthVarney99"/><ref name=sivak/> In this article, "concussion" and "mTBI" are used interchangeably.

The term "concussion" is from [[Latin]] ''concutere'', "to shake violently"<ref name="Pearce">{{cite journal | vauthors = Pearce JM | title = Observations on concussion.
