“…First, the risk matrix will usually differ substantially between sports and may also vary between different levels, genders and age groups within the same sport. Second, as noted by Fortington et al ,28 fatalities are typically not captured in sports injury/illness surveillance studies. The fact that there were no deaths in the study sample used in figure 1 does not mean that efforts to prevent sudden cardiac death in football, such as emergency preparations, supply of automated external defibrillators and resuscitation training, should be abandoned 29…”

“…Investigators may also report the severity of health problems based on clinical outcomes such as the need for hospitalization or surgery, 33,92 retirement from sport, permanent disability, or death. 43,92 Degree and Urgency of Medical Attention. The severity of an injury or illness can also be recorded based on the degree and urgency of medical attention received by the athlete.…”

“…When fatalities occur months or years after the event, researchers should justify the relationship to training/competition. 43,66 As such cases often receive media attention, we remind investigators to consider privacy issues. Special considerations apply to approaching, consenting, and collecting data from families who have sustained a major loss.…”

International Olympic Committee Injury and Illness Epidemiology Consensus Group* † Background: Injury and illness surveillance, and epidemiological studies, are fundamental elements of concerted efforts to protect the health of the athlete. To encourage consistency in the definitions and methodology used, and to enable data across studies to be compared, research groups have published 11 sport-or setting-specific consensus statements on sports injury (and, eventually, illnesses) epidemiology to date.Objective: To further strengthen consistency in data collection, injury definitions, and research reporting through an updated set of recommendations for sports injury and illness studies, including a new Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist extension. Study Design: Consensus statement of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Methods: The IOC invited a working group of international experts to review relevant literature and provide recommendations. The procedure included an open online survey, several stages of text drafting and consultation by working groups, and a 3-day consensus meeting in October 2019.Results: This statement includes recommendations for data collection and research reporting covering key components: defining and classifying health problems, severity of health problems, capturing and reporting athlete exposure, expressing risk, burden of health problems, study population characteristics, and data collection methods. Based on these, we also developed a new reporting guideline as a STROBE extension-the STROBE Sports Injury and Illness Surveillance (STROBE-SIIS). Conclusion:The IOC encourages ongoing in-and out-of-competition surveillance programs and studies to describe injury and illness trends and patterns, understand their causes, and develop measures to protect the health of the athlete. The implementation of the methods outlined in this statement will advance consistency in data collection and research reporting.

“…There is a critical need for specific details about the events resulting in death if we are to understand how best to prevent them or control their risk 7. This includes detail on the person, the specific injury/condition that occurred, when, where and under what circumstances the event occurred and the type of emergency services and medical care that was available and provided at the sport event location.…”

“…There is a need for a comprehensive and systematic approach if we are to enumerate and understand how best to prevent sport-related death. Despite considerable work and recommendations for sports injury data capture that have occurred since the mid-1990s,18–20 data collection efforts for sport-related death remains largely limited to specific settings (eg, the USA7) and certain high-risk sports (eg, horse racing21). Currently, only one of the published consensus statements on collection and reporting of injury/illness in sport includes any mention of death 7…”
