“…By comparison, injury rates for competitive female gymnasts reportedly range from 0.5 to 5.3 injuries/1,000 hours. 30 Results from the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study (High School RIO), 31 for all years studied (2005 to 2014), indicate a range in overall injury rates from 0.21 (swim and dive) to 4.5 (football) injuries per 1,000 athletic-exposures (AEs) for boys' sports and from 0.32 (swim and dive) to 2.42 AEs (soccer) for girls' sports. However, higher injury rates have been recorded for full contact sports, especially during competition.…”

“…However, higher injury rates have been recorded for full contact sports, especially during competition. 31 With the exception of Luke and coworkers 20 none of the studies in Table 1 tested for gender differences in injury rates. Luke and coworkers reported significantly higher selfreported injury rates (SRIs) in males compared to females (p = 0.02), in spite of the fact that the female ballet dancers reported dancing significantly more hours per day than the males.…”

Epidemiological Review of Injury in Pre-Professional Ballet Dancers

et al. 2015

The objective of this study was to provide an epidemiological review of the literature concerning ballet injuries affecting pre-professional ballet dancers. The literature search was limited to published peer-reviewed reports and involved an extensive examination of Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and CINAHL. The following search terms were used in various combinations: ballet, injury, epidemiology, risk factor, pre-professional, and intervention. Additional citations were located using the ancestry approach. Unlike some other athletic activities that have been the focus of recent intervention research, there is a paucity of intervention and translational research in pre-professional ballet, and sample sizes have often been small and have not accounted for the multivariate nature of ballet injury. Exposure-based injury rates in this population appear similar to those reported for professional ballet dancers and female gymnasts. A preponderance of injuries affect the lower extremity of these dancers, with sprains and strains being the most frequent type of injury reported. The majority of injuries appear to be overuse in nature. Injury risk factors have been tested in multiple studies and indicate a variety of potential injury predictors that may provide useful guidance for future research.

“…This result suggests that surgeons should pursue strategies to reduce the amount of opioids prescribed after ACLR to improve the safety profile of the procedure. Previous studies have found that the majority of pills prescribed to patients undergoing surgery are never taken, suggesting that it is possible to safely decrease the amount of opioid prescribed after common outpatient surgeries like ACL reconstruction 10,14. We acknowledge that under prescription of opioids can also create clinical problems such as this as can over prescription of opioids.…”

“…The rates of Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury increased 19% and ACL reconstruction (ACLR) increased 28% from 2007 to 2011 9. Adolescent athletes are at particularly high risk for developing OUD, exhibiting up to a 4-fold risk of abusing nonprescription opioids and a 10-fold risk of misusing prescription opioids relative to nonathletes 10–12. We hypothesized that variations in opioid prescription patterns after ACLR may relate to subsequent risk of developing an OUD.…”

Introduction: Postoperative opioid prescriptions may confer a risk for subsequent opioid use disorders (OUDs). For many children, postoperative analgesia is often the first opioid exposure. The rates of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in pediatric populations are rising. Here, we use an administrative claims database to describe opioid prescription patterns after ACL reconstruction and their effect on subsequent risk of OUD. Methods: Using International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9, ICD-10, and CPT codes, we identified patients, with ages 10 to 18, undergoing primary ACL reconstruction between 2014 and 2016 with minimum 1 year follow-up in the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart, which is a nationally representative administrative claims database. Demographic variables and prescription patterns (in morphine milligram equivalents [MMEs]) were analyzed using univariate tests and multivariable logistic regression to determine any potential association with the appearance of anew an ICD-9 or ICD-10 code for OUD within 1 year of the initial procedure. Results: A total of 4459 cases were included and 29 (0.7%) of these patients were diagnosed with an OUD within 1 year of surgery. Upon univariate analysis, opioid represcriptions within 6 weeks were significantly more common among patients with OUD; 27.6% vs. 9.7% of patients that did not develop a new diagnosis of OUD (P=0.005). Multivariable logistic regression indicated an independent significant relationship between total MMEs initially prescribed and the odds of a subsequent OUD diagnosis: for each additional 100 MMEs prescribed in total, the odds of OUD increased by 13% (P=0.002). Patients with a represcription within 6 weeks of surgery had an average increase in the odds of OUD by 161% (P=0.027). Conclusions: In this cohort of patient ages 10 to 18 undergoing primary isolated ACL reconstruction, we found substantial variability in opiate prescribing patterns and higher initial opioid prescription volume, as well as opioid represcription within 6 weeks were predictive of the subsequent development of OUD. Level of Evidence: Level III.

“…The underreporting of concussions or mild traumatic brain injury in youth and adolescent athletes is a growing public health surveillance problem. There have been few studies and/or surveillance efforts published to date in the United States about concussions among student‐athletes, in particular in secondary (high) schools (HS) and/or pediatric populations compared to higher education . Although quality data can be collected from sports athletic trainers, injury rates may still be underestimated .…”

BACKGROUND: Despite increased awareness of concussions, epidemiologic surveillance efforts have been scarce, especially among adolescents. This project, which was developed with school stakeholders (certified athletic trainers [ATCs], nurses, athletic directors), piloted a public secondary school-based online surveillance tool for interscholastic and intramural sports and physical education-related concussions in New Jersey during 2014-2017 school years (SY). METHODS:Participating public high schools (5 within 4 districts) and career-technical-vocational education districts (2 with 5 campuses) completed forms anonymously online via PsychData within 5 days. RESULTS:There were 208 concussions reported, 115 in 2015-2016 SY and 93 in 2016-2017 SY. In fall 2015, 86 concussions were reported, including 16 from summer preseason. In fall 2016, 56 concussions were reported; 3 occurred during preseason. There were 7 concussions reported in winter 2016 and 16 in winter 2017. Twenty-two concussions were reported in spring of both 2016 and 2017. Most online forms were completed in <10 minutes, usually using either desktop computers or tablets/iPads. School nurses followed by ATCs were primary sources of data entered online, usually by ATCs. CONCLUSIONS:Cooperation of nurses and ATCs at participating schools suggested online surveillance was valued and viable. Data inform future concussion prevention education and ongoing injury surveillance.Citation: Shendell DG, Gonzalez L, Listwan TA, Pancella J, Blackborow M, Boyd J.
