Soccer-Related Injuries in Children and Adults Aged 5 to 49 Years in US Emergency Departments From 2000 to 2012.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An increase in soccer-related injuries occurred in the United States between 2000 and 2012; however, most studies of soccer-related injuries have only examined the pediatric population and not adults.

Hypothesis

The number of soccer injuries is increasing in both the pediatric and adult populations. There are differences in injury types and counts when comparing male and female players within various age groups.

Study design

Descriptive epidemiology study.

Level of evidence

Level 4.

Methods

This retrospective analysis surveyed the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database from 2000 to 2012 for soccer-related injuries in children and adults aged 5 to 49 years.

Results

From 2000 to 2012, there were an estimated 2,472,066 soccer-related injuries among 5- to 49-year-olds; 629,994 (25.5%) in adults (aged 20-49 years). The overall estimated pediatric injury count increased significantly over the time period (R (2) = 0.764, P < 0.001). In the 20- to 49-year age range, there was also a significant increase in the estimated number of injuries over the 13-year period, from 41,292 injuries in 2000 to 55,743 in 2012 (R (2) = 0.719, P < 0.001). The estimated injury counts for male players were significantly higher than female players in any given year for all age groups (P < 0.001). Girls aged 5 to 19 years were more likely to have lower extremity injuries than boys (odds ratio [OR], 1.256; 95% CI, 1.214-1.299; P < 0.001). The most common injuries reported were strain/sprains (33.3%), fractures (23.7%), and contusions and abrasions (17.4%) within the 5- to 49-year age category. In both sexes, strains and sprains were significantly lower among 5- to 19-year-olds in comparison with 20- to 49-year-olds (OR, 0.740; 95% CI, 0.714-0.766; P < 0.001).

Conclusion

There are age- and sex-related differences in estimated injury count, body part injured, type of injury, and hospital admissions for soccer. Also, estimated injury count increased over the 2000 to 2012 time period.

Clinical relevance

This study demonstrates that there are differences between pediatric and adult injuries, based on sex, body part, type of injury, and hospital admissions.

Project description:BackgroundEvidence suggests that rates of occupational injuries in the US are decreasing. As several different occupational injury surveillance systems are used in the US, more detailed investigation of this trend is merited. Furthermore, studies of this decrease remain descriptive and do not use inferential statistics. The aim of this study was to provide both descriptive and inferential statistics of temporal trends of occupational injuries treated in US emergency departments (EDs) for 2012 to 2019.MethodsMonthly non-fatal occupational injury rates from 2012 to 2019 were estimated using the national electronic injury surveillance system-occupational supplement (NEISS-Work) dataset, a nationally representative sample of ED-treated occupational injuries. Rates were generated for all injuries and by injury event type using monthly full-time worker equivalent (FTE) data from the US Current Population Survey as a denominator. Seasonality indices were used to detect seasonal variation in monthly injury rates. Trend analysis using linear regression adjusted for seasonality was conducted to quantify changes in injury rates from 2012 to 2019.ResultsOccupational injuries occurred at an average rate of 176.2 (95% CI = ± 30.9) per 10,000 FTE during the study period. Rates were highest in 2012 and declined to their lowest level in 2019. All injury event types occurred at their highest rate in summer months (July or August) apart from falls, slips, and trips, which occurred at their highest rate in January. Trend analyses indicated that total injury rates decreased significantly throughout the study period (- 18.5%; 95% CI = ± 14.5%). Significant decreases were also detected for injuries associated with contact with foreign object and equipment (- 26.9%; 95% CI = ± 10.5%), transportation incidents (- 23.2%; 95% CI = ± 14.7%), and falls, slips, and trips (- 18.1%; 95% CI = ± 8.9%).ConclusionsThis study supports evidence that occupational injuries treated in US EDs have decreased since 2012. Potential contributors to this decrease include increased workplace mechanization and automation, as well as changing patterns in US employment and health insurance access.

Project description:Soccer participation in the United States (U.S.) has increased over time, and injuries as well as interest to prevent injuries has become more common. This study described Emergency Department (ED) visits related to concussions, intracranial injuries (ICI), and all-other injuries attributed to soccer play; described healthcare cost and length of hospital stay of soccer-related injuries; and determined independent predictors of concussions, ICI, and all-other soccer injuries leading to ED visits. The study examined soccer-related weighted discharge data from the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample, Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Weighted tabular analysis of univariate and bivariate analyses and weighted and adjusted logistic regression models were conducted. A total of 480,580 of U.S. ED visits related to soccer injuries were available for analysis between 2010 to 2013. Generally, 98% of soccer-related ED visits resulted in routine (treat-and-release) visits. However, the odds of transfer to a short-term hospital following ED evaluation and treatment was more than 37-fold higher for soccer-injured youth and adults diagnosed with ICI when compared to all-other soccer injuries; additionally, these patients showed 28-fold higher odds of being admitted for inpatient care at the ED-affiliated hospital. For concussion, soccer-injured patients with concussion showed nearly 1.5-fold higher odds of being transferred to a short-term hospital than did those with any other soccer injury. Soccer-related ED visits cost more than 700 million in U.S. dollars from 2010 to 2013. Notable differences were noted between concussions, ICI, and all-other soccer injuries presenting to U.S. ED. Albeit underestimated given that this study excludes other forms of health care and treatment for injuries, such as outpatient clinics, over the counter medications and treatment, and rehabilitation, healthcare cost associated with soccer-related injuries presenting to ED is high, and remarkably costly in those with an ICI diagnosis.

Project description:ImportanceStroke remains the second leading cause of death worldwide. Approximately 10% to 15% of all strokes occur in young adults. Information on prognosis and mortality specifically in young adults is limited.ObjectiveTo determine short- and long-term mortality risk after stroke in young adults, according to age, sex, and stroke subtype; time trends in mortality; and causes of death.Design, setting, and participantsRegistry- and population-based study in the Netherlands of 15 527 patients aged 18 to 49 years with first stroke between 1998 and 2010, and follow-up until January 1, 2017. Patients and outcomes were identified through linkage of the national Hospital Discharge Registry, national Cause of Death Registry, and the Dutch Population Register.ExposuresFirst stroke occurring at age 18 to 49 years, documented using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, codes for ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and stroke not otherwise specified.Main outcomes and measuresPrimary outcome was all-cause cumulative mortality in 30-day survivors at end of follow-up, stratified by age, sex, and stroke subtype, and compared with all-cause cumulative mortality in the general population.ResultsThe study population included 15 527 patients with stroke (median age, 44 years [interquartile range, 38-47 years]; 53.3% women). At end of follow-up, a total of 3540 cumulative deaths had occurred, including 1776 deaths within 30 days after stroke and 1764 deaths (23.2%) during a median duration of follow-up of 9.3 years (interquartile range, 5.9-13.1 years). The 15-year mortality in 30-day survivors was 17.0% (95% CI, 16.2%-17.9%). The standardized mortality rate compared with the general population was 5.1 (95% CI, 4.7-5.4) for ischemic stroke (observed mortality rate 12.0/1000 person-years [95% CI, 11.2-12.9/1000 person-years]; expected rate, 2.4/1000 person-years; excess rate, 9.6/1000 person-years) and the standardized mortality rate for intracerebral hemorrhage was 8.4 (95% CI, 7.4-9.3; observed rate, 18.7/1000 person-years [95% CI, 16.7-21.0/1000 person-years]; expected rate, 2.2/1000 person-years; excess rate, 16.4/1000 person-years).Conclusions and relevanceAmong young adults aged 18 to 49 years in the Netherlands who were 30-day survivors of first stroke, mortality risk compared with the general population remained elevated up to 15 years later.

Project description:BackgroundHigh-resolution estimates of HIV burden across space and time provide an important tool for tracking and monitoring the progress of prevention and control efforts and assist with improving the precision and efficiency of targeting efforts. We aimed to assess HIV incidence and HIV mortality for all second-level administrative units across sub-Saharan Africa.MethodsIn this modelling study, we developed a framework that used the geographically specific HIV prevalence data collected in seroprevalence surveys and antenatal care clinics to train a model that estimates HIV incidence and mortality among individuals aged 15-49 years. We used a model-based geostatistical framework to estimate HIV prevalence at the second administrative level in 44 countries in sub-Saharan Africa for 2000-18 and sought data on the number of individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) by second-level administrative unit. We then modified the Estimation and Projection Package (EPP) to use these HIV prevalence and treatment estimates to estimate HIV incidence and mortality by second-level administrative unit.FindingsThe estimates suggest substantial variation in HIV incidence and mortality rates both between and within countries in sub-Saharan Africa, with 15 countries having a ten-times or greater difference in estimated HIV incidence between the second-level administrative units with the lowest and highest estimated incidence levels. Across all 44 countries in 2018, HIV incidence ranged from 2·8 (95% uncertainty interval 2·1-3·8) in Mauritania to 1585·9 (1369·4-1824·8) cases per 100 000 people in Lesotho and HIV mortality ranged from 0·8 (0·7-0·9) in Mauritania to 676·5 (513·6-888·0) deaths per 100 000 people in Lesotho. Variation in both incidence and mortality was substantially greater at the subnational level than at the national level and the highest estimated rates were accordingly higher. Among second-level administrative units, Guijá District, Gaza Province, Mozambique, had the highest estimated HIV incidence (4661·7 [2544·8-8120·3]) cases per 100 000 people in 2018 and Inhassunge District, Zambezia Province, Mozambique, had the highest estimated HIV mortality rate (1163·0 [679·0-1866·8]) deaths per 100 000 people. Further, the rate of reduction in HIV incidence and mortality from 2000 to 2018, as well as the ratio of new infections to the number of people living with HIV was highly variable. Although most second-level administrative units had declines in the number of new cases (3316 [81·1%] of 4087 units) and number of deaths (3325 [81·4%]), nearly all appeared well short of the targeted 75% reduction in new cases and deaths between 2010 and 2020.InterpretationOur estimates suggest that most second-level administrative units in sub-Saharan Africa are falling short of the targeted 75% reduction in new cases and deaths by 2020, which is further compounded by substantial within-country variability. These estimates will help decision makers and programme implementers expand access to ART and better target health resources to higher burden subnational areas.FundingBill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Project description:ImportanceEarly-onset colorectal cancer incidence rates are rising faster in White individuals than Black individuals. However, prior National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) racial stratification analyses used smaller SEER 13 databases, combined patients under age 50 years, did not stratify by sex, and did not focus on adenocarcinoma histologic subtypes (screening target).ObjectiveTo perform a race- and sex-stratified adenocarcinoma incidence rate analysis in individuals aged 40 to 49 years using larger SEER 18 databases with expanded race data to better understand the colorectal cancer burden in those at or approaching screening age.Design, setting, and participantsThis cross-sectional study used 2000 to 2017 SEER 18 annual age-adjusted colorectal cancer incidence rates stratified by anatomic subsite (colon or rectum), adenocarcinoma histology, race (non-Hispanic Black or non-Hispanic White), and sex for individuals aged 40 to 49 years, and yearly annual percent change (APC) incidence rates were calculated. Annual rate ratios (ARRs) between subgroups were determined. Statistical analysis was performed from January to March 2021.Main outcomes and measurementsEarly-onset colorectal cancer incidence rates, APCs, and ARRs.ResultsIn this study, a total of 46 728 colorectal cancer cases were identified in 45 429 patients aged 40 to 49 years from 2000 to 2017. Among the 45 429 patients included in this study, 6480 (14.2%) were Black and 27 426 (60.4%) were White; the mean (SD) age was 45.5 (2.8) years. Among White individuals aged 40 to 49 years, colorectal adenocarcinoma incidence rates increased from 19.6 per 100 000 person-years in 2000 to 25.2 per 100 000 person-years in 2017 (APC, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.3 to 1.9). Among Black individuals aged 40 to 49 years, colorectal adenocarcinoma incidence rates were not significantly changed (26.4 per 100 000 person-years in 2000 and 25.8 per 100 000 person-years in 2017 [APC, -0.03; 95% CI, -0.5 to 0.5]). There were no significant differences in ARRs of absolute colorectal incidence rates between White and Black individuals from 2014 to 2017. Rectal-only absolute adenocarcinoma incidence rates in Black and White individuals remained similar from 2000 to 2008 but significantly diverged in 2009. As of 2017, rectal absolute incidence rates were 39% higher among White individuals than among Black individuals with increasing APC (APC, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.6 to 2.8) whereas rectal adenocarcinoma incidence rates among Black individuals were decreasing, although the APC was not statistically significant (APC, -1.4; 95% CI, -2.6 to 0.1). Absolute colonic adenocarcinoma incidence rates remained higher in Black individuals. The study subgroups with the largest divergence in APCs were rectal adenocarcinoma in White vs Black women (APC of 2.2 [95% CI, 1.6 to 2.8] vs APC of -1.7 [95% CI, -3.6 to 0.3], respectively).Conclusions and relevanceThis study found that colorectal adenocarcinoma incidence rates in people aged 40 to 49 years were increasing among White individuals but stabilized among Black individuals with absolute incidence rates becoming equivalent. Absolute rectal adenocarcinoma incidence rates were 39% lower in Black individuals with a widening disparity in rectal cancer between White and Black women. Possible contributors include introduction of a screening threshold of age 45 years in Black individuals in 2008. Although the average-risk screening age has now shifted to age 45 years in all racial groups, these data can help motivate real-world implementation of guidelines to maximize screening rates that have historically been suboptimal in younger individuals.
