目的:本研究的目的是调查2010年温哥华残奥会期间运动员受伤的发生率和特征。设计:描述性流行病学研究。设置:2010年加拿大温哥华残奥会的所有医疗场所。参与者:共有来自44个国家残奥委员会的505名运动员参加了2010年温哥华冬季残奥会。基线协变量包括运动特异性(即,冰雪橇曲棍球,高山滑雪,北欧滑雪,轮椅冰壶),性别,年龄和残疾classification.Main结果测量:2010年温哥华残奥会期间发生的所有损伤。“损伤”定义为在研究期间导致运动员就医的任何与运动相关的肌肉骨骼疾病,无论运动员是否有能力继续训练或比赛。伤害监测系统在505名运动员中共发现120起伤害[发生率= 23.8%](95%置信区间,20.11-27.7)]参加2010年冬季残奥会。男性(22.8%)和女性(26.6%)运动员的损伤发生率相似[发生率比= 1.1(95%置信区间,0.7-1.7)]。34%的雪橇曲棍球运动员,22%的高山滑雪选手,19%的北欧滑雪运动员,18%的轮椅冰壶运动员。结论:损伤监测系统确定了24%的运动员参加2010年冬季残奥会的运动损伤。受伤风险明显高于2002年(9.4%)和2006年(8.4%)冬季残奥会。这可能反映了数据收集系统的改进,但也突出了残奥会高山滑雪和冰橇曲棍球急性损伤的高风险。这些数据将帮助未来的组委会为残疾运动员提供医疗服务,并指导未来的伤害预防研究。
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine incidence proportion and the characteristics of athlete injuries sustained during the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games.Design: Descriptive epidemiological study.Setting: All medical venues at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games, Canada.Participants: A total of 505 athletes from 44 National Paralympic Committees participating in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Paralympic Games.Assessment of Risk Factors: Baseline covariates included sport specificity (ie, ice sledge hockey, alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, wheelchair curling), gender, age, and disability classification.Main Outcome Measures: All injuries that occurred during the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games. "Injury" was defined as any sport-related musculoskeletal complaint that caused the athlete to seek medical attention during the study period, regardless of the athlete's ability to continue with training or competition.Results: The Injury Surveillance System identified a total of 120 injuries among 505 athletes [incidence proportion = 23.8% (95% confidence interval, 20.11-27.7)] participating in the 2010 Winter Paralympic Games. There was a similar injury incidence proportion among male (22.8%) and female (26.6%) athletes [incidence rate ratio = 1.1 (95% confidence interval, 0.7-1.7)]. Medical encounters for musculoskeletal complaints were generated in 34% of all sledge hockey athletes, 22% of alpine ski racers, 19% of Nordic skiers, and 18% of wheelchair curling athletes.Conclusions: The Injury Surveillance System identified sport injuries in 24% of all athletes participating in the 2010 Winter Paralympic Games. The injury risk was significantly higher than during the 2002 (9.4%) and 2006 (8.4%) Winter Paralympic Games. This may reflect improved data collection systems but also highlights the high risk of acute injury in alpine skiing and ice sledge hockey at Paralympic Games. These data will assist future Organizing Committees with the delivery of medical care to athletes with a disability and guide future injury prevention research.
