The first decade of web-based sports injury surveillance: Descriptive epidemiology of injuries in US high school girlsâ basketball (2005â2006 through 2013â2014) and National Collegiate Athletic Association womenâs basketball (2004â2005 through 2013â2014)
Context: The advent of Web-based sports injury surveillance via programs such as the High School Reporting Information Online system and the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance Program has aided the acquisition of girlsâ and womenâs basketball injury data. Objective: To describe the epidemiology of injuries sustained in high school girlsâ basketball in the 2005â2006 through 2013â2014 academic years and collegiate womenâs basketball in the 2004â2005 through 2013â2014 academic years using Web-based sports injury surveillance. Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Setting: Online injury surveillance from basketball teams in high school girls (annual average ÂŒ 100) and collegiate women (annual average ÂŒ 57). Patients or Other Participants: Girlsâ and womenâs basketball players who participated in practices and competitions during the 2005â2006 through 2013â2014 academic years in high school or the 2004â2005 through 2013â2014 academic years in college. Main Outcome Measure(s): Certified athletic trainers collected time-loss (24 hours) injury and exposure data. Injury rates per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs) were calculated. Injury rate ratios (IRRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to compare injury rates by school size or division, time in season, event type, and competition level. Results: The High School Reporting Information Online system documented 2930 time-loss injuries during 1 609 733 AEs; the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance Program documented 3887 time-loss injuries during 783 600 AEs. The injury rate was higher in college than in high school (4.96 versus 1.82/1000 AEs; IRR ÂŒ 2.73; 95% CI ÂŒ 2.60, 2.86). The injury rate was higher in competitions than in practices for both high school (IRR ÂŒ 3.03; 95% CI ÂŒ 2.82, 3.26) and collegiate (IRR ÂŒ 1.99; 95% CI ÂŒ 1.86, 2.12) players. The most common injuries at both levels were ligament sprains, concussions, and muscle/tendon strains; the majority of injuries affected the ankle, knee, and head/face. These injuries were often caused by contact with another player or a noncontact mechanism. Conclusions: Injury rates were higher in collegiate than in high school athletes and in competitions than in practices. Similarities in distributions of injuries by body parts, specific diagnoses, and mechanisms of injury suggest that both levels may benefit from similar injury-prevention strategies
The first decade of web-based sports injury surveillance: Descriptive epidemiology of injuries in US high school boysâ basketball (2005â2006 through 2013â2014) and National Collegiate Athletic Association menâs basketball (2004â2005 through 2013â2014)
Context: The advent of Web-based sports injury surveillance via programs such as the High School Reporting Information Online system and the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance Program has aided the acquisition of boysâ and menâs basketball injury data. Objective: To describe the epidemiology of injuries sustained in high school boysâ basketball in the 2005â2006 through 2013â2014 academic years and collegiate menâs basketball in the 2004â2005 through 2013â2014 academic years using Web-based sports injury surveillance. Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Setting: Online injury surveillance from basketball teams of high school boys (annual average ÂŒ 100) and collegiate men (annual average ÂŒ 55). Patients or Other Participants: Boysâ and menâs basketball players who participated in practices and competitions during the 2005â2006 through 2013â2014 academic years in high school or the 2004â2005 through 2013â2014 academic years in college. Main Outcome Measures: Athletic trainers collected time-loss (24 hours) injury and exposure data. Injury rates per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs) were calculated. Injury rate ratios (IRRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) compared injury rates by school size or division, time in season, event type, and competition level. Results: The High School Reporting Information Online system documented 3056 time-loss injuries during 1 977 480 AEs; the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance Program documented 4607 time-loss injuries during 868 631 AEs. The injury rate was higher for college than for high school (5.30 versus 1.55/1000 AE; IRR ÂŒ 3.43; 95% CI ÂŒ 3.28, 3.59). The injury rate was higher for competitions than for practices in both high school (IRR ÂŒ 2.38; 95% CI ÂŒ 2.22, 2.56) and college (IRR ÂŒ 2.02; 95% CI ÂŒ 1.90, 2.14). The most common injuries at both levels were ligament sprains, muscle/ tendon strains, and concussions; most injuries affected the ankle, knee, and head/face. Injuries were most often caused by contact with another player or noncontact mechanisms. Conclusions: Injury rates were greater among collegiate players compared with high school players and were greater during competitions than practices at both levels. Distributions of injuries by body part, diagnoses, and mechanisms of injury were similar, suggesting that athletes at both levels may benefit from similar injury-prevention strategies
