This paper analyses the rate and patterns of parachuting injuries at the Sultans Oman Parachute Unit (SOPRA) in Oman.
Data on 150 patients referred to Rustaq Regional Referral Hospital was collected and analysed. The injuries were defined as severe (fractures, dislocation, head trauma) or minor (contusion, bruises, sprains).
The rate of severe injuries was 9 % and ankle fractures were the commonest. The minor injury rate was 13.5%. The injury rate increased in relation to age (p < 0.001). The type and possible mechanisms of injury are discussed with the recommendation for reducing the injury rates.
We conclude that our data compares favourably with other studies except for higher incidence of severe injuries.
本文分析了阿曼苏丹国跳伞部队(SOPRA)的跳伞损伤发生率及模式。
收集并分析了转诊至鲁斯塔克地区转诊医院的150例患者的数据。损伤被定义为严重损伤(骨折、脱位、头部创伤)或轻度损伤(挫伤、擦伤、扭伤)。
严重损伤发生率为9%,踝关节骨折最为常见。轻度损伤发生率为13.5%。损伤发生率随年龄增长而增加(p<0.001)。讨论了损伤类型及可能的机制,并提出了降低损伤发生率的建议。
我们得出结论,除严重损伤发生率较高外,我们的数据与其他研究相比具有优势。
