背景：流行病学研究已经确定了男女脑震荡发病率的差异。然而，迄今为止，很少有作者更新了男性和女性脑震荡运动员之间的受伤率（IR）和时间损失。目的：检查脑震荡国家大学体育协会（NCAA）运动员的IR和时间损失的性别差异。设计：描述性流行病学研究。设置：国家大学体育协会田径运动。患者或其他参与者：共有1702名脑震荡的NCAA运动员，包括903名女性和779名男性，他们在2004-2005年至2008- 2009年的5年期间参加了足球、篮球、冰球、长曲棍球、垒球或棒球。主要结果测量：使用NCAA伤害监测计划，运动教练报告了10项NCAA运动的脑震荡，运动员暴露（AE）和时间损失。一个IR是在一个特定的类别中的伤害的数量除以该category.Results的AE的数量：在研究期间，1702脑震荡，在4 170 427 AE的总体总数为5.47每10 000 AE。在性别可比较的运动中，女性的整体脑震荡IR是男性的1.4倍（IR分别为4.84和3.46），女性棒球/垒球、篮球、冰球和足球的发病率高于男性。女性足球和篮球运动员也表现出更多的时间损失脑震荡后相比，男性篮球和足球运动员。结论：女性运动员持续脑震荡的发生率较高，在所有的运动，除了长曲棍球，有更大的时间损失脑震荡比男性运动员。需要进一步研究脑震荡后时间损失的性别差异。
Context: Epidemiologic studies have identified differences in concussion incidence between the sexes. However, few authors to date have updated injury rates (IRs) and time loss between male and female concussed athletes.Objective: To examine sex differences in IRs and time loss in concussed National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes.Design: Descriptive epidemiologic study.Setting: National Collegiate Athletic Association athletics.Patients or Other Participants: A total of 1702 concusssed NCAA athletes, consisting of 903 females and 779 males participating in soccer, basketball, ice hockey, lacrosse, softball, or baseball over a 5-year period from 2004-2005 through 2008-2009.Main Outcome Measure(s): Using the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program, athletic trainers reported concussions, athlete-exposures (AEs), and time loss across 10 NCAA sports. An IR is the number of injuries in a particular category divided by the number of AEs in that category.Results: During the study period, 1702 concussions were reported during 4 170 427 AEs for an overall total of 5.47 per 10 000 AEs. In sex-comparable sports, females had a 1.4 times higher overall concussion IR than males (IRs = 4.84 and 3.46, respectively), with greater rates in women's baseball/softball, basketball, ice hockey, and soccer than men. Female soccer and basketball players also displayed more time loss after concussion compared with male basketball and soccer players.Conclusions: Female athletes sustained a higher rate of concussion and, in all sports except lacrosse, had greater time loss from concussion than male athletes. Additional research is needed on sex differences in time loss after concussions.
