To determine the prevalence of asthma among all varsity athletes in a large National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I program.
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records for all varsity athletes at The Ohio State University (OSU). Data were abstracted from patient charts that contained a Medical Health Questionnaire, annual physical examinations, and medical encounters by the OSU Sports Medicine staff. A diagnosis of asthma was defined by self-report of physician diagnosis as recorded in the medical record.
Overall, 130 of 763 (17.0%) athletes had a diagnosis of asthma. Females (67/280 or 23.9%) had a significantly higher prevalence of asthma than males (63/483 or 13.0%) (p value = 0.001). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of asthma between high- and low-ventilation sports. (p value = 0.201).
The prevalence of asthma among varsity athletes at The Ohio State University is 17.0%, which is significantly higher than the reported prevalence of asthma in the general United States population between 18 to 24 years of age. More females had asthma in our study population than males. These data will allow for future studies and development of focused screening programs of collegiate athletes.
确定在一个大型美国国家大学体育协会（NCAA）一级项目中所有大学运动员的哮喘患病率。
我们回顾性审查了俄亥俄州立大学（OSU）所有大学运动员的病历。数据从包含医疗健康问卷、年度体检以及OSU运动医学工作人员的医疗会诊记录的患者病历中提取。哮喘诊断依据病历中记录的医生诊断的自我报告来确定。
总体而言，763名运动员中有130名（17.0%）被诊断为哮喘。女性（67/280，即23.9%）的哮喘患病率显著高于男性（63/483，即13.0%）（p值 = 0.001）。高通风运动和低通风运动之间的哮喘患病率无显著差异（p值 = 0.201）。
俄亥俄州立大学大学运动员中的哮喘患病率为17.0%，显著高于美国18至24岁普通人群中报告的哮喘患病率。在我们的研究人群中，患哮喘的女性比男性多。这些数据将有助于未来对大学运动员进行针对性筛查项目的研究和开展。
