“…A similar association was reported among children with intellectual disability in Australia [22]. Our results also confirm the previous work that reported injury risk difference by disability types [18–20,33]. Although previous studies reported a dose-response association between disability severity and injury risk in adults with disabilities [34,35],we did not find a clear dose-response relationship in our study.…”

“…Analysis of the U.S. National Health Interview Survey data found that children with disability were at a significant higher risk of injuries than children without disability [19]. A study from Canada reported a 30% increases in the risk of injury in children with disabilities compared with their healthy peers [20]. Ramirez et al reported that children with disabilities had over twice the school injury rate of children without disability [32].…”

Purpose Little research has been done in China to study injury in individuals with disability. We investigated impact of type and severity of disability on injury among children with disability in Hubei Province of China. Methods A sample of 1201 children with disability were matched with 1201 healthy children on gender, age, and neighborhood. Disability type and severity were determined using the Chinese national standards. Caregivers were interviewed face-to-face about nonfatal unintentional injuries suffered by the child in the past 12 months prior to the interview. Univariate Chi-square test and logistic regression models were used to investigate association between disability type/severity and nonfatal unintentional injuries. Results Injury rate among children with disability was significantly higher than that among children without disability (10.2% vs. 4.4%; P <.001). Children with multiple disabilities had the highest risk of injury after controlling for confounding variables (OR=4.54; 95% CI=2.82, 7.30; P<.001). The magnitude of the association between disability and injury varied by type and severity of disability. Conclusions The magnitude of the association between the presence or absence of disability in children and their risk of injury was large and significant, regardless of the type or severity of the children's disabilities.

“…Previous research suggests that a low exposure to physical activities shows low levels of sports related injuries (Raman et al 2007), and in our study, approximately half of adolescents with affected LTID were likely to report their main injury to have taken place during sports. Adolescents with affected LTID may have functional difficulties, learning difficulties or chronic conditions that affect their participation and these elevated risks of injuries may be from serious non-sports related events.…”

“…In addition, adolescents who reported more LTID conditions were at even greater risks of medically attended injuries (Raman et al 2007). Numerous studies have reported the higher threat of sports related injuries among adolescents with LTID than the general participation (Shi et al 2015).…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study is to examine the rates of sports related injuries in adolescents based on the severity of their long-term illnesses or disabilities (LTID). Few injury prevention strategies in sports and health promotion have explored disaggregation by disability.MethodsData obtained from the 2014 Finnish Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey (n = 3716, mean age = 14.8, SD = 1.03) were grouped into adolescents with and without LTID. A further indicator or severity was determined when adolescents reported their LTID affected their participation (affected LTID). Odds ratio (95% CI) were used to determine the associations between sports related injuries and LTID, daily moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA), being a sports club member, physical competence, and family encouragement, after controlling for age, gender and family affluence.ResultsOne in four adolescents (25%) reported to have LTID and one in eight adolescents (12.5%) reported sports injuries. The odds for adolescents with chronic conditions, functional and learning difficulties was the highest (OR 3.55, CI = 2.3–5.4) for overall injuries, when compared with adolescents without LTID. Adolescents with affected LTID (OR = 2.08, CI = 1.5–2.9) were more likely to report medically attended injuries than adolescents without LTID. Sports-related injuries (OR = 0.33, CI = 0.1–0.8) were lower in adolescents with affected LTID than those without LTID after adjusting for personal and environmental factors.ConclusionsTaking part in sport clubs increases the risk of sports related injuries in adolescents with and without LTID, but not with affected LTID. Few adolescents with affected LTID participate in sports clubs and were less likely to report the most serious type of injury to be from sports. These results could be used for devising sports based injury prevention and health promotion strategies for children with LTID.
