Music festivals, with a mix of music, alcohol and camping at the festival site combined with low hygiene, have become an integral part of society and attracts large numbers of guests. Our study was performed in order to increase the very limited knowledge on health-care issues and organisation of major music festivals.
Pre-defined illness and injury categories were constructed based on categories previously reported from music festivals. We prospectively recorded patient presentations to the Medical Health Care Organisation (MHCO) at the 2012 Roskilde Festival.
During 10 days, more than 130,000 guests and volunteers attended the 2012 Roskilde Festival. Ten thousand six hundred thirty patient presentations were registered between the 30th of June and 9th of July 2012 by the MHCO. The majority of patient presentations, 6919, could be handled by first-aid volunteers with different levels of training. The remaining 3473 patient presentations were assessed to require further health-care competencies or additional resources such as prescriptions, medication or suturing. Two hundred thirty-eight patient presentations were triaged to a designated observation area. Two hundred sixty patients were referred to a local hospital, a general practitioner or a dentist. The overall patient presentation rate was 72/1000 attendees, and the transport-to-hospital rate was 1.8/1000 attendees.
Our study demonstrates that illnesses and injuries are frequent, although mostly minor, in this normally low-risk population consisting of primarily young and healthy guests. However, comparison with other recent events was difficult as only limited data have been published from other music festivals. Future festivals should publish similar data.
音乐节将音乐、酒精与音乐节场地的露营相结合，且卫生条件较差，已成为社会的一个组成部分，并吸引了大量宾客。我们开展这项研究是为了增加关于大型音乐节医疗保健问题及组织方面极为有限的知识。
基于此前音乐节报告的类别构建预先定义的疾病和损伤类别。我们前瞻性地记录了2012年罗斯基勒音乐节期间向医疗保健组织（MHCO）就诊的患者情况。
在10天时间里，超过130000名宾客和志愿者参加了2012年罗斯基勒音乐节。2012年6月30日至7月9日期间，MHCO记录了10630例患者就诊情况。大多数患者就诊情况（6919例）可由经过不同程度培训的急救志愿者处理。其余3473例患者就诊情况经评估需要进一步的医疗保健能力或额外资源，如处方、药物或缝合。238例患者就诊情况被分诊到指定观察区域。260例患者被转诊至当地医院、全科医生处或牙医处。总体患者就诊率为72/1000名参会者，转院率为1.8/1000名参会者。
我们的研究表明，在这个主要由年轻健康宾客组成的通常低风险人群中，疾病和损伤很常见，尽管大多为轻症。然而，由于其他音乐节仅公布了有限的数据，与其他近期活动进行比较存在困难。未来的音乐节应公布类似数据。
