GOALS
To assess the relative injury reduction effect and acceptability of face guards on batter's helmets.
METHODS
A non-randomized prospective cohort study among 238 youth league baseball teams in Central and Southern Indiana during the 1997 season. Coaches, parents, and players were asked to respond to pre-season and post-season questionnaires. Approximately one half of the teams were supplied with face guard helmets (intervention); all others used this protection at their discretion (comparison).
RESULTS
Parents, players, and coaches on the intervention teams reported a reduction in the incidence of oculofacial injuries compared with comparison team respondents (p=0.04). There was no reported adverse effect of face guard use on player performance.
CONCLUSIONS
Helmet face guards should be required for batters to prevent facial injuries in baseball.
目的
评估击球手头盔上的面部防护装置的相对伤害降低效果及可接受性。
方法
1997赛季，在印第安纳州中部和南部的238支青年联盟棒球队中进行了一项非随机前瞻性队列研究。要求教练、家长和球员回答季前和季后问卷。大约一半的球队配备了面部防护头盔（干预组）；其他所有球队自行决定是否使用这种防护装备（对照组）。
结果
与对照组受访者相比，干预组的家长、球员和教练报告眼面部损伤发生率有所降低（p=0.04）。没有报告使用面部防护装置对球员表现有不良影响。
结论
应该要求击球手使用头盔面部防护装置以预防棒球运动中的面部损伤。
