The purpose of this study was to examine epidemiological trends of concussions among 15 different intercollegiate sports during the 1997-1998, 1998-1999, and 1999-2000 seasons. Data were collected using the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Injury Surveillance System (ISS). For the 15 sports studied during the 3 academic years, the NCAA ISS documented 3,535 team-seasons, 40,547 reportable injuries, 5,566,924 practice athlete exposures (AEs), and 1,090,298 game AEs. Concussions accounted for 6.2% of all reported injuries during this 3-year study. Of all the reported injuries, women lacrosse players (13.9%) reported the highest percentage of suffering a concussion during a game followed by women's soccer (11.4%), men's ice hockey (10.3%), men's lacrosse (10.1%), football (8.8%), women's basketball, (8.5%), field hockey (7.2%), men's soccer (7.0%), wrestling (6.6%), men's basketball (5.0%), baseball (4.2%), and women's volleyball (4.1%). Female athletes from all 7 sports were found to be at a lower risk for suffering concussions during practice sessions than the 8 male sports. However, female athletes were found to be at a greater risk for suffering concussions during games compared to male athletes. Injury trends over the 3- year period indicate concussions continue to be on the rise for athletes participating in collegiate football, men's soccer, and women's and men's basketball.
本研究的目的是调查1997 - 1998、1998 - 1999和1999 - 2000赛季15种不同的大学间体育项目中脑震荡的流行病学趋势。数据通过美国全国大学体育协会（NCAA）损伤监测系统（ISS）收集。在这3个学年研究的15个体育项目中，NCAA ISS记录了3535个球队赛季、40547起可报告损伤、5566924次训练运动员暴露（AE）以及1090298次比赛AE。在这项为期3年的研究中，脑震荡占所有报告损伤的6.2%。在所有报告的损伤中，女子长曲棍球运动员（13.9%）在比赛中遭受脑震荡的比例最高，其次是女子足球（11.4%）、男子冰球（10.3%）、男子长曲棍球（10.1%）、橄榄球（8.8%）、女子篮球（8.5%）、曲棍球（7.2%）、男子足球（7.0%）、摔跤（6.6%）、男子篮球（5.0%）、棒球（4.2%）和女子排球（4.1%）。研究发现，所有7项女子运动的运动员在训练期间遭受脑震荡的风险低于8项男子运动。然而，与男子运动员相比，女子运动员在比赛期间遭受脑震荡的风险更高。3年期间的损伤趋势表明，参加大学橄榄球、男子足球以及女子和男子篮球项目的运动员脑震荡人数持续上升。
