Our study attempted to evaluate the effects of major sporting events on the census of a pediatric emergency department (ED) in the United States specifically related to the National Football League Super Bowl, National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals, and Major League Baseball World Series.
We performed a retrospective data analysis of our pediatric ED census on the number of visits during major sporting events over a 5-year period. Data during the same period 1 week after the major sporting event were collected for comparison as the control. We evaluated the medians of 2-hour increments around the event start time. Subgroup analysis was performed for games involving the local sporting teams.
Our results showed no significant difference in ED census during the sporting events, except in the post 6 to 8 hours of the NBA finals. Subgroup analysis of the Los Angeles Lakers showed the same significant findings in the post 6 to 8 hours of the NBA finals.
No major difference in pediatric ED census is observed during the most major sporting events in the United States.
我们的研究试图评估美国主要体育赛事对儿科急诊科（ED）就诊人数的影响，特别是与美国国家橄榄球联盟超级碗、美国职业篮球联赛（NBA）总决赛和美国职业棒球大联盟世界大赛相关的影响。
我们对儿科急诊科在5年期间主要体育赛事期间的就诊人数进行了回顾性数据分析。收集主要体育赛事后1周同一时期的数据作为对照进行比较。我们评估了赛事开始时间前后每2小时时间段的中位数。对涉及当地运动队的比赛进行了亚组分析。
我们的结果显示，除了NBA总决赛后的6至8小时外，体育赛事期间儿科急诊科就诊人数没有显著差异。对洛杉矶湖人队的亚组分析在NBA总决赛后的6至8小时也显示出相同的显著结果。
在美国最主要的体育赛事期间，儿科急诊科就诊人数没有明显差异。
