Correction: Sex differences in severity and recovery following mild traumatic brain injury: A Systematic Review (Brain Sciences, 2026, 16(1), 77

In the original publication [1], there were mistakes in Tables 2 and 3 as published. The total number of participants was not included in the initial version, and the related information is updated in Table 2 and Table 3. Additionally, some of the missing information was also updated. The corrected Table 2 and Table 3 appear below. There were errors in the original publication. The total number of participants were updated as follows, “Forty-one studies involving 12,382 participants (7021 males; 5361 females)”. Total number of participants were updated as “A total of 12,382 individuals participated in the selected studies (n = 7021 males; n = 5361 females)”. Image based study number was updated as “Ten” studies investigated sex-based variations in brain images after mTBI. The same information was updated in the next paragraph as “Four out of ten brain image-based studies were under the SRC category”. An information reporting error was identified in the 3rd paragraph as “Walton et al.’s [41] study on athletes who participated in football, volleyball, wrestling, rowing, field hockey, and equestrian found that female athletes demonstrated a significantly longer time to symptom resolution, especially related to depression and anxiety (p < 0.001) compared to male athletes (Table 2)”. The information reporting error was corrected as follows in Section 3.3 and Section 8th paragrph, “Even though, Walton et al.’s [41] study on athletes who participated in basketball, baseball/softball, cheer/dance, cross country/track and field, swimming and diving, gymnastics, lacrosse, soccer, squash, and tennis found that no significant sex-based differences in times to reaching any clinical milestone such as time to diagnosis, symptom resolution and RTP (Table 2)”. Another information reporting error was identified in the 5th paragraphs as “Wang et al. [52] study suggests that sex differences influence the patterns of abnormal intrinsic functional connectivity after acute mTBI, with distinct patterns observed in females compared to males, particularly about the right middle frontal gyrus and its connectivity with other brain regions, and this may underpin sex-specific clinical symptoms like PTSD (Table 3).” It was corrected and updated as follows “Wang et al. [52] study suggests that sex differences influence the patterns of abnormal intrinsic functional connectivity after acute mTBI, with distinct patterns observed in females compared to males, particularly about the right middle frontal gyrus and its connectivity with other brain regions, and this may underpin sex-specific clinical symptoms like BAI and BDI (Table 3)”. In 6th paragraph, another information reporting error was identified as: “Losoi et al. [61] study found that females reported more symptoms compared to males in the cognitive domain (Table 3).” It was corrected and updated as follows “Losoi et al. [61] study found sex was not associated with chronic post-concussion symptoms after evaluating many neuropsychological indices (Table 3).” The references were updated in the following sentence in the 4th paragraph “Among these factors, sex has been identified as particularly influential, with research indicating that females may experience more pronounced symptoms and longer recovery time compared to their male counterparts in SRC [35,36,40], military-related mTBI [4] and ….” Additionally, “(2/42)” was removed from the initial version to improve the sentence. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
