Historical perspective

Hospital emergency rooms Health care agencies Retrospective data Longitudinal studies

Injury Surveillance Systems

Geographical regions/levels Reportable injuries? Population

Injury Surveillance Systems

NAIRS NCAA NATA NYSSF CIRCL National Football Head & Neck Injury Registry National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury

Research

Page 10: Epidemiology Types and Frequency of Injuries. Topics… What is epidemiology? Why research sports injury? Injury surveillance systems Injury risk factors.

Injury Surveillance

Number of participants Injured but continued Injured unable to continue (Injured not reported)

Page 11: Epidemiology Types and Frequency of Injuries. Topics… What is epidemiology? Why research sports injury? Injury surveillance systems Injury risk factors.

Reportable Injuries

Result of participation in organized practice or game

Requires medical attention Restriction of athlete’s

participation or performance

Page 12: Epidemiology Types and Frequency of Injuries. Topics… What is epidemiology? Why research sports injury? Injury surveillance systems Injury risk factors.

Exposure – Unit of Risk

One athlete participating in one practice or contest…..

Exposed to the possibility of athletic injury

A-E

Page 13: Epidemiology Types and Frequency of Injuries. Topics… What is epidemiology? Why research sports injury? Injury surveillance systems Injury risk factors.

Injury Rate

Ratio of injuries to exposures

Injuries per 1,000 athlete-exposures

See data: 2007 – 2008 Sports Medicine Handbook

Risk Factors

Intrinsic– Age/development– Gender specific– Psychological– Medical conditions

Page 16: Epidemiology Types and Frequency of Injuries. Topics… What is epidemiology? Why research sports injury? Injury surveillance systems Injury risk factors.

Risk Factors - Growth

Skeletal maturity– Growth plate injuries– Osgood-Schlatter Disease– Spondylolysis– Osteochondritis dissecans

Risk Factors - Gender

Amenorrhea Premature bone loss Eating disorders

Page 24: Epidemiology Types and Frequency of Injuries. Topics… What is epidemiology? Why research sports injury? Injury surveillance systems Injury risk factors.

Risk Factors - Psychological

Parental pressure Emotional stress Physical leads to psychological
