运动相关脑震荡（SRC）是一个主要的公共卫生问题。本研究旨在通过倾向评分匹配的病例对照研究，评估护齿使用与大学生SRC发病率之间的关系。总共有2185名潜在参与者中的195人自愿参加了这项研究。我们使用谷歌表单在线获取参与者的信息，包括：年龄；性别;高度;重量;运动接触水平；比赛水平；曝光时间;使用护齿器的频率；护齿套类型;和SRC经验。115名参与碰撞和身体接触运动的参与者的数据被用于分析。评估配对对之间使用护齿器频率的差异，并评估SRC与护齿器使用之间的总体关联。在匹配组中，没有经历过SRC的人比经历过SRC的人更频繁地佩戴护牙器（7/28 vs. 1/28;p= 0.051）。Logistic回归分析显示，护齿频率与SRC发病率呈显著负相关（优势比0.101;p= 0.041）。在本研究的局限性内，这些结果表明使用护齿器可能对预防SRC有一定的好处。
Sports-related concussion (SRC) is a major public health concern. This study aimed to assess the association between mouthguard use and the incidence of SRC in college students through a case-control study using propensity score matching. In total, 195 of 2185 potential participants volunteered to participate in this study. We used Google Forms online to capture participants' information, including: age; gender; height; weight; sports contact level; level of play; exposure time; frequency of mouthguard use; mouthguard type; and SRC experience. Data for 115 participants who played collision and contact sports were used for the analysis. The difference in the frequency of mouthguard use was assessed between matched pairs and the overall association between SRC and mouthguard use was evaluated. In the matched groups, those who had not experienced SRC wore a mouthguard more frequently than those who had experienced SRC (7/28 vs. 1/28;p= 0.051). Logistic regression analysis showed there was a significant negative association between the frequency of mouthguard use and the incidence of SRC (odds ratio 0.101;p= 0.041). Within the limitations of this study, these results suggest that mouthguard use may offer some benefit in preventing SRC.
