Multi-tract multi-symptom relationships in pediatric concussion

Concussions can damage networks of connections in the brain. Scientists have spent decades and millions of dollars studying concussions and potential treatments. Yet, no new treatments are available or in the pipeline. A major reason for this stagnation is that no two concussions are exactly alike. People affected by concussions may have different genetic or socioeconomic backgrounds. The nature of the injury or how its effects change over time may also vary among people with concussions.

One central question facing scientists is whether there are multiple types of concussions. If so, what distinguishes them and what characteristics do they share. Some studies have looked at differences among subgroups of patients with concussions. But questions remain about whether – beyond differences between the patients – the brain injury itself differs and what impact that has on symptoms or patient trajectory.

To better characterize different types of concussion, Guberman et al. analyzed diffusion magnetic resonance imaging scans from 306 nine or ten-year-old children with a previous concussion. The children were participants in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study. Using specialized statistical techniques, the researchers outlined subgroups of concussions in terms of connections and symptoms and studied how many of these subgroups each patient had. Some types of injury were linked with a category of symptoms like cognitive, mood, or physical symptoms. Some types of damage were linked with specific symptoms. Guberman et al. also found that one symptom, sleep problems, was part of many different injury subtypes. Sleep problems may occur in different patients for different reasons. For example, one patient with sleep difficulties may have experienced damage in brain regions controlling sleep and wakefulness. Another person with sleep problems may have injured parts of the brain responsible for mood and may have depression, which causes excessive sleepiness and difficulties waking up.

Guberman et al. suggest a new way of thinking about concussions. If more studies confirm these concussion subgroups, scientists might use them to explore which types of therapies might be beneficial for patients with specific subgroups. Developing subgroup-targeted treatments may help scientists overcome the challenges of trying to develop therapies that work across a range of injuries. Similar disease subgrouping strategies may also help researchers study other brain diseases that may vary from patient to patient.

Concussion afflicts approximately 600 per 100,000 individuals every year (Cassidy et al., 2004). It is associated with several psychiatric conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Orlovska et al., 2014). Its incidence rate is rising in children and adolescents (Zhang et al., 2016), and compared to adult populations, the impact of concussions on pediatric brains is understudied (Mayer et al., 2018). Despite considerable funding devoted to clinical and basic research, no major advances in therapeutics have been achieved to date (Kenzie et al., 2017). A root cause of this stagnation appears to be a contradiction: while all concussions are treated equally in clinical trials and research studies, they are characterized by extensive heterogeneity in their pathophysiology, clinical presentation, symptom severity and duration (Kenzie et al., 2017; Hawryluk and Bullock, 2016). Concussion heterogeneity across patients has been identified as a major hurdle in advancing concussion care (Kenzie et al., 2017; Hawryluk and Bullock, 2016).

Due to shearing forces transmitted during injury, the brain’s white matter is especially vulnerable to concussion (Armstrong et al., 2016; Bigler and Maxwell, 2012). Decades of research have studied white matter structure in individuals who sustain concussions. However, most studies continue to assume consistent, one-to-one structure/symptom relationships and employ traditional group comparisons (Dodd et al., 2014; Hulkower et al., 2013), averaging out the diffuse and likely more idiosyncratic patterns of brain structure abnormalities in favor of shared ones. Hence, the extant literature suggests that a large proportion of the clinical and research studies have not adequately accounted for clinical and neuropathological concussion heterogeneity.

To remedy this shortcoming, a growing number of studies aim to parse the clinical heterogeneity in concussions by algorithmically partitioning patients into discrete subgroups based on symptoms (Langdon et al., 2020; Si et al., 2018; Yeates et al., 2019). Other studies aim instead to account for heterogeneity in white matter structure alterations (Stojanovski et al., 2019b; Taylor et al., 2020; Ware et al., 2017). Ware et al., 2017 built individualized maps of white matter abnormalities which revealed substantial inter-subject variability in traumatic axonal injury and minimal consistency of subject-level effects. Taylor et al., 2020 computed a multivariate summary measure of white matter structure across 22 major white matter bundles which achieved better classification accuracy of concussed patients from healthy controls compared to single tract measures. Hence, studies have attempted to address heterogeneity in symptoms and in white matter structure across concussed patients.

However, white matter alterations due to concussion are diffuse and can elicit several symptoms that may interact with each other in complex and variable ways (Kenzie et al., 2017; Hawryluk and Bullock, 2016; Iverson, 2019). For instance, two individuals may suffer a concussion and develop sleep problems. The first may have damaged white matter tracts related to sleep/wakefulness control, whereas the second may have damaged tracts related to mood, causing depression-like symptoms, which include sleep problems. These two individuals will thus display a common symptom but will have overall different symptom profiles and different white matter damage profiles. This example illustrates an additional, hitherto ignored source of heterogeneity, whereby a variety of white matter structure alterations (‘multi-tract’) may be related to a variety of symptoms (‘multi-symptoms’) in different ways. This disease-specific type of heterogeneity will henceforth be referred to as multi-tract multi-symptom heterogeneity for brevity. Parsing concussion heterogeneity requires accounting for these dynamic, multi-tract multi-symptom relationships.

The objective of the present study was to leverage advanced diffusion MRI (dMRI) methods as well as a double-multivariate approach to parse multi-tract multi-symptom heterogeneity in a large sample of previously concussed children. Multi-tract multi-symptom relationships captured more information than traditional univariate approaches. Expression of multi-tract connectivity features was not driven by sociodemographic strata, injury characteristics, or clinical subgroups. Analyses comparing clinical subgroups defined by the presence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder showed that multi-tract multi-symptom analyses identified disease-specific connectivity patterns that were missed by single-tract single-symptom approaches.

In the present study, we leveraged novel dMRI methods and a double-multivariate approach to parse heterogeneity in the relationship between white matter structure and symptoms in a large sample of previously-concussed children. By applying PLSc on biologically interpretable measures of dMRI obtained from PCA, we found cross-demographic multi-tract multi-symptom features that captured information about structure/symptom relationships that traditional approaches missed. More representative multi-tract multi-symptom pairs represented broader symptom categories and implicated wider networks of connections, whereas more idiosyncratic pairs represented more specific symptom combinations and implicated more localized connections. Whereas certain symptom/tract correspondences were consistent across the pairs that implicated them, more often than not, tracts were not consistently associated with the same symptoms across pairs. This finding was especially apparent for sleep problems, which were implicated across most pairs. These results suggest that rather than a clean and consistent set of one-to-one symptom/tract relationships, concussions may instead be composed of subsets of symptom combinations that are associated with combinations of structural alterations of different white matter tracts.

Defining concussions as a clinical syndrome characterized by a set of symptoms stemming from a set of alterations of brain structure and function, multi-tract multi-symptom pairs can be thought of as subtypes of concussion (i.e.: of structure/symptom relationships), not of concussion patients. Patients with concussions can express these different concussion subtypes to varying degrees. We theorize that the combination of these different subtypes and how much they are expressed is what determines the clinical syndrome a person will display. The pairs explaining the most covariance can be interpreted as the subtypes that are most commonly expressed across individuals. Whether these subtypes are dataset-specific remains to be explored. Multi-tract relationships may be driven by the metabolic demands imposed by the network structure of the brain, which is known to predict the course of several brain diseases (Crossley et al., 2014), by biomechanical constraints imposed by the skull and other structures exposing certain areas to more shearing strain (Hernandez et al., 2019), or by both factors simultaneously (Anderson et al., 2020). These possibilities need to be tested further. Multi-symptom relationships may be driven by feedback mechanisms, with symptoms potentiating each other. One example is sleep: sleep disturbances were implicated in nearly all multi-tract multi-symptom pairs, but showed no consistent correspondence with any particular connection. This result suggests that sleep disturbances across concussed patients may not be associated with the same neural substrate, but may instead arise, in some concussions, as a consequence of other symptoms. Previous theoretical work has proposed that sleep may play a central role in concussions, given that it can arise as a consequence of certain symptoms but can also potentiate other symptoms (Kenzie et al., 2018). The current findings are consistent with this previous work.

Concussion heterogeneity has been identified as a major obstacle (Kenzie et al., 2017; Hawryluk and Bullock, 2016) in response to decades of failed attempts to translate basic science findings into successful clinical trials and novel therapies. Heterogeneity in symptoms, impact of injury on brain structure and function, and pre-injury factors pose a particular problem for most concussion neuroimaging studies which have traditionally employed univariate comparisons between concussed and healthy or orthopedic injury control groups, or between patients with and without persistent symptoms (Dodd et al., 2014; Hulkower et al., 2013). These sources of inter-subject variability are believed to be problematic because they decrease the statistical power needed for group comparisons and multivariable models to detect the often-subtle effects of concussions (Maas et al., 2013). To overcome this challenge, landmark initiatives such as the IMPACT (Maas et al., 2013), InTBIR (Tosetti et al., 2013), CENTER TBI (Maas et al., 2015), and TRACK TBI (Bodien et al., 2018) aim to standardize and pool multi-center data collected across sociodemographic strata, to identify and statistically correct for pre-injury factors known to impact brain structure, and develop diagnostic and prognostic tools leveraging multimodal data and increasingly sophisticated machine-learning approaches.

In this study, we posited that disease-specific concussion heterogeneity is also problematic because by pooling across patients, idiosyncratic patterns of connectivity that may be more symptom-specific are sacrificed in favour of shared ones. By assuming that symptoms map cleanly and consistently onto shared connectivity abnormalities in a one-to-one fashion, erroneous inferences could be made about relationships between group-level patterns of connectivity differences and specific symptoms. Our results are consistent with this idea: univariate comparisons between a clinical subgroup defined by a diagnosis of ADHD and the rest of the sample identified connectivity features that mostly overlapped with the first multi-tract multi-symptom pair obtained from both PLSc analyses. These pairs, which accounted for the most covariance, reflected general problems and not specifically ADHD. Both these pairs and the univariate ‘ADHD-related’ connections implicated a distributed network of tracts. Instead, a multi-tract multi-symptom pair that more uniquely represented attention problems implicated mostly frontal connections, including a connection that was part of the corticospinal tract. These findings are consistent with prior literature showing differences in white matter structure, especially in the corticospinal tract, among children with ADHD (Silk et al., 2016; Wu et al., 2020; Puzzo et al., 2018). Nonetheless, children with ADHD were heterogeneous in the expression of this more attention-specific multi-tract multi-symptom pair, suggesting that this clinical subgroup of children with TBIs may have important differences that can be further investigated. Across pairs, nearly every time attention problems were implicated, they were found alongside two connections with trajectories that correspond to parts of the right superior longitudinal fasciculus. This result is consistent with previous work that has shown differences in the structure of the right superior longitudinal fasciculus in children and adults with ADHD (Cortese et al., 2013; Hamilton et al., 2008; Konrad et al., 2010; Makris et al., 2008; Wolfers et al., 2015). Overall, these results suggest that univariate comparisons in concussed children, even when performed in such a way as to identify a diagnosis-specific set of connectivity features, identified only the most consistent group-level connectivity differences at the expense of more symptom-specific idiosyncratic ones.

The present findings must be contrasted to the nascent literature addressing concussion heterogeneity. A few recent studies have parsed inter-subject heterogeneity in concussion symptoms, using clustering analyses to group concussion patients into discrete subtypes (Langdon et al., 2020; Si et al., 2018; Yeates et al., 2019). The symptoms displayed by these reported subgroups differed from those implicated in the multi-symptom features found in the present study. Differences between symptom profiles arose because our multi-symptom features are associated with white matter structure and not driven by variability in symptoms alone. Other prior studies have attempted to address inter-subject heterogeneity in white matter structure in concussions (Stojanovski et al., 2019b; Taylor et al., 2020; Ware et al., 2017). Using two different approaches, these studies generated point summaries that accounted for the high-dimensional variability of white matter structure to better distinguish patients from controls. These prior studies, using a variety of approaches, have all focused on parsing down inter-subject heterogeneity in symptoms or white matter structure. Our approach focuses instead on disease-specific heterogeneity in structure/symptom relationships.

The present results should be considered in light of methodological limitations. Data on mTBI occurrence was collected retrospectively. Participants did not have baseline data, and additionally had highly variable times since injury. Most individuals with concussions recover from their injury (Leddy et al., 2012) which should have led to a concussed group where most participants were similar to healthy controls. Interestingly, our PCA yielded combinations of diffusion measures that differed from those of two prior studies that have used this approach (Chamberland et al., 2019; Geeraert et al., 2020). These prior studies used samples of typically developing children without neurological insults. To the extent that the PCs reported in these prior studies reflect healthy neurotypical brains, our PCs suggest that our concussed sample was not as similar in white matter structure to healthy controls as expected. However, variable time since injury made the interpretation of patterns of microstructure difficult. Further, due to the cross-sectional nature of this data, the difference between symptoms and pre-existing characteristics are difficult to discern, especially since some behavioral measures often believed to be symptoms of concussion, such as attention problems, can also be risk factors for brain injury (Guberman et al., 2020b). Heterogeneity has several forms, including in symptoms, duration, severity, neuropathology (Bigler and Maxwell, 2012), lesion location (Ware et al., 2017), sociodemographics (Maas et al., 2013), genetics (Stojanovski et al., 2019a), behavior (Guberman et al., 2020b), pre-injury comorbidities (Yue et al., 2019), and environmental differences, including access to and quality of care (Yue et al., 2020). These factors have been theorized to interact in complex ways (Kenzie et al., 2017). This study only addressed a minority of these complex relationships, further studies integrating more variable sets are needed to address these other drivers of heterogeneity. The connectivity features that were studied came from connectomes, not from well-known bundles. This choice was made to obtain a larger coverage of white matter structure, but as a result, sacrificed interpretability. The reason is that the connectivity features studied here may or may not represent true anatomical units, and hence cannot be interpreted easily on their own. Instead, we relied on patterns across tracts, such as counting the number of connections that corresponded to the same symptom across different multi-tract multi-symptom pairs. Future studies should contrast this approach against procedures used to extract large well-known bundles. Lastly, methodological choices are a central part of this study. As illustrated by the sensitivity analyses and analyses performed on the replication set, some parts of the analytical pipeline were robust to methodological variations, whereas others were not. For instance, the PLSc procedure was robust to variations in input data. This was evidenced by the non-significant correlations between multi-tract multi-symptom feature expressions and a variable indexing the dataset, as well as the similarities observed after running the PLSc analyses on the replication set. However, the univariate feature selection approach was not as robust, as shown by the low overlap of connections when using different input datasets, as well as the loss of significant permutation test results when using a stricter resampling method that reshuffled prior to feature selection. Importantly, this study was not attempting to identify a single best analytical approach for studying multi-tract multi-symptom relationships. Rather, this project aimed to present a fundamentally different way of understanding concussions. Among the myriad of options available, we found a compromise between novel, cutting-edge techniques, and established, well-known ones. However, for parts of the analytical pipeline, refinements can be made. Future iterations of this work will need to exert better control of time since injury, perform longitudinal follow-up, develop predictive models for clinical outcomes, and assess the impact of choices made among the panoply of alternatives along key steps of the analytical pipeline.

Conversely, this study leveraged some of the most recent and important advances in dMRI to address the major limitations of conventional approaches. We used high-quality multi-shell dMRI data (Jones et al., 2013), as well as modeling approaches, tractography techniques, and microstructural measures robust to crossing fibers, partial volume effects, and connectivity biases (Girard et al., 2014; Descoteaux et al., 2009; Tournier et al., 2007; Raffelt et al., 2012; Dell’Acqua et al., 2013; Chamberland et al., 2019). We used PCA to combine dMRI measures into meaningful indices of white matter structure. Lastly, we used gold-standard measures of psychiatric illness to divide the sample into meaningful clinical subgroups.

In conclusion, leveraging advanced dMRI and a pattern-learning algorithm to parse white matter structure/symptom heterogeneity, we have found clinically-meaningful, cross-demographic multi-tract multi-symptom relationships. As the field moves towards large-scale studies which aim to statistically control for sociodemographic sources of heterogeneity to detect a putative consistent white matter signature of concussion across patients, the fundamental insight of this study should be taken into consideration: when pooling across patients, disease-specific multi-tract multi-symptom heterogeneity is lost, leading to the loss of informative, clinically-meaningful, symptom-specific patterns of connectivity abnormalities. Future studies aiming to better understand the relationship between white matter abnormalities and concussion symptomatology should look beyond the group-comparison design and consider multi-tract multi-symptom heterogeneity.
