“…Three studies [ 14 , 15 , 73 ] utilised the athlete exposures (AEs) rate and two of these three studies [ 15 , 73 ] reported on match injuries. Other studies were reviewed but were excluded as they were not peer reviewed [ 75 – 77 ], reported on a specific injury [ 67 , 78 – 85 ], did not stratify the results by sex [ 86 – 90 ], did not report concussions [ 12 ] or exposure rates [ 91 ], assessed injuries as a result of foul play [ 92 ], utilised a self-reporting survey [ 87 , 92 , 93 ], reported on the costs [ 52 – 55 , 94 , 95 ], reported previously included data [ 6 , 67 , 68 , 96 – 99 ], or were reviews [ 1 , 3 , 4 , 9 , 100 – 102 ]. Reviewer inter-rater reliability was assessed as strong ( κ = 0.84; p < 0.0001) between two of the reviewers.…”

The Incidence, Cost, and Burden of Concussion in Women’s Rugby League and Rugby Union: A Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis

Background The extent of concussion injury in the rugby codes for women is unclear. Objective Our aim was to review all published studies reporting concussion injuries from match and training participation in rugby codes and report the pooled data estimates for rugby league and union concussion injury epidemiology. Methods We conducted a systematic literature analysis of concussion in rugby league and rugby union for published studies from January 1990 to July 2021. Data from 16 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were extracted for women’s concussion injuries and were subsequently pooled. Costs from Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) data were attributed to the results to provide cost estimates. Results The pooled analysis match injury incidence of women’s concussion was higher for rugby league (10.3 per 1000 match hours) than rugby 15 s (2.8 per 1000 match hours) or rugby 7 s (8.9 per 1000 match hours). There was a fourfold difference in the pooled incidence of concussion in women’s rugby league (risk ratio [RR] 4.53, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8–11.3]; p = 0.0001) when compared with rugby 15 s. There was also a ninefold higher risk of a concussion during match participation compared with training participation for women’s rugby 15 s (RR 9.3, 95% CI 1.29–66.78; p = 0.0070). The total estimated costs for the concussions reported were NZ$1,235,101. For rugby 7 s, the pooled concussive injury burden was 33.2 days. Conclusions Our pooled analysis clarified the extent of concussion injury and the possible associated costs at several levels of the game for women’s rugby codes. The pooled mean days lost because of concussions was 33 days. As this was considerably longer than the 7- to 10-day expected timeframe outlined in the Concussion in Sport Consensus statement, these guidelines need to be updated to include sex-specific differences.

“…Studies were predominantly from the USA, 32–41 44 45 48 49 with the remainder from the UK, 42 New Zealand 43 and Ireland. 31 46 47 Only four studies stated the diagnosis tool used, with these being the King-Devick, 43 SCAT2 and SCAT3, 35 and the SCAT3 alone. 33 39 In the US studies, the High-School Reporting Information Online (HS-RIO) 32 34 37 38 40 44 or the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program (NCAA-ISP) 36 41 45 48 49 was responsible for the majority of the data available.…”

“…Two studies of female Gaelic football were reported from the same collegiate institution. 31 47 Between the studies, 251 athletes were involved in 7885.82 AE hours and sustained 11 concussions. A match rate of 5.21 was reported in one study, with a training rate of 0.36 per 1000 AE hours 31 ; however, match exposures were quite low (576 AE hours).…”

ObjectivesTo determine sport-related concussion (SRC) incidence rates in female contact/collision sport.DesignSystematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines.Data sourcesFour databases (PubMed, SportsDiscus, Web of Science, CINAHL) were searched for data from 2012 to 2021.Eligibility criteriaStudies reporting SRC incidence rates or the number of concussions and athletic exposures (AEs) per 1000 participating events or hours in healthy female contact and collision sport athletes of any age were included.ResultsThe search yielded 8438 non-duplicate articles. Following screening, 19 were included in the analysis (median quality score=70%), with 8 reporting match or training incidence rates. Studies were primarily from US high school and collegiate populations; data are reported for eight sports. Rugby union reported the highest match SRC rates (8.2–16.11 per 1000 AE hours), followed by Gaelic football (5.21 per 1000 AE hours) and soccer (2.08–4.04 per 1000 AE events). Where available, match SRC rates were substantially higher than training and overall SRC rates.ConclusionFemale sports such as rugby union, Gaelic football and soccer present the highest risk for SRCs within the available data. Previous research indicates a potentially greater injury burden for female athletes experiencing SRCs than their male counterparts. Thus, future research should analyse concussion knowledge and return-to-play protocols in these sports. Future research should also prioritise exploration of the gap in SRC rates within amateur sports, and data should be presented specifically in the context of athletic exposures (match vs training).Trial registration numberCRD42021281569.
