Trampoline use is a popular pastime amongst children in New Zealand, and has many advantages for child development. However, recent reports claim that trampoline-associated injuries are still highly prevalent. In order to help prevent these injuries in the future, this study aims to provide more up-to-date epidemiological information in children, with emphasis on the time of year that injuries most commonly occur.
A retrospective review was carried out utilising a prospective maintained trauma database. The database was searched electronically for injuries involving trampolines in children aged 0-15 years. Patient demographics and information regarding month of injury, injury type and management were extracted.
There were 344 admissions to hospital for trampoline-related injuries between June 2000 and January 2015. Injuries were uncommon in winter, but rose in spring and summer. Fracture of the radius and/or ulna was the most common injury (34.0%), followed by humeral fracture (32.0%).
The peak incidence of trampoline-related injuries occurred around the beginning of spring daylight savings time each year. This could therefore prove an opportune time to remind children and parents about trampoline safety at the same time as daylight savings reminders.
在新西兰，蹦床运动是儿童中一项受欢迎的消遣活动，对儿童发育有诸多益处。然而，近期报告称与蹦床相关的损伤仍然非常普遍。为了有助于预防未来此类损伤，本研究旨在提供有关儿童更最新的流行病学信息，重点关注损伤最常发生的一年中的时间。
利用一个前瞻性维护的创伤数据库进行回顾性研究。通过电子方式在该数据库中搜索0至15岁儿童中涉及蹦床的损伤情况。提取患者人口统计学信息以及关于损伤月份、损伤类型和处理方式的信息。
2000年6月至2015年1月期间，有344例因蹦床相关损伤入院。冬季损伤不常见，但在春季和夏季有所上升。桡骨和/或尺骨骨折是最常见的损伤（34.0%），其次是肱骨骨折（32.0%）。
与蹦床相关损伤的发病率高峰每年大约出现在春季夏令时开始前后。因此这可能是一个适时的时机，在夏令时提醒的同时，提醒儿童和家长注意蹦床安全。
