Abstract

OBJECTIVES

Crowd contact rates with medical services at cricket matches are unknown. The aim of this study was to detail every contact made with medical services at an international test cricket ground, whether medical or not.

METHODS

Prospective, observational study of 22 matches, from county to international level, over the 2009 summer cricket season at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham, UK.

RESULTS

Four hundred and forty-four contacts from 22 matches attended by 183 387 spectators produced an incidence rate of 24/10 000. Nearly three-quarters of contacts were male (74%, n=325) and the mean age was 36 years (95% confidence interval 35-38 years). Contact rates increased with crowd size (Pearson's coefficient 0.877, P<0.001). The majority of the presentations were for new illness or injury [262 (59%)]. There was a high proportion of 'opportunistic' presentations [111 (25%)], which included advice or treatment for existing wounds or injuries, requests to use medical facilities (e.g. injecting insulin) and nonmedical contacts (e.g. repair of clothes). Eighteen patients were either sent home directly, to a minor injuries unit or to hospital. Seven ambulance transfers to hospital were required [2% (7/444)].

CONCLUSION

Contact rates with medical services at cricket matches were high (24/10 000 spectators), probably because of longer and multiday events. Match day services are often used for opportunistic and nonmedical contacts at large sports stadia, which produced nearly one-quarter of contacts over a summer of cricket at Edgbaston. This study adds unique and comprehensive data of medical requirements for crowds at all-day and multiday events.

摘要

目的

板球比赛中观众与医疗服务的接触率尚不清楚。本研究旨在详细描述在英国伯明翰埃奇巴斯顿板球场举行的 2009 年夏季板球赛季的 22 场比赛中，每场比赛中与医疗服务的接触情况，无论是否涉及医疗服务。

方法

前瞻性、观察性研究，对英国伯明翰埃奇巴斯顿板球场 22 场比赛进行研究，这些比赛涵盖了县际和国际水平。

结果

在 183387 名观众观看的 22 场比赛中，共有 444 名观众接受了医疗服务，发病率为 24/10000。近四分之三的接触者为男性（74%，n=325），平均年龄为 36 岁（95%置信区间为 35-38 岁）。接触率随人群规模的增加而增加（皮尔逊相关系数为 0.877，P<0.001）。大多数就诊是因为新发疾病或损伤[262 例（59%）]。有相当比例的“机会性”就诊[111 例（25%）]，包括对现有伤口或损伤的建议或治疗、要求使用医疗设施（如注射胰岛素）和非医疗接触（如衣服修补）。18 名患者被直接送回家、送往轻伤单位或送往医院。需要 7 次救护车转院至医院[2%（7/444）]。
