Despite the popularity of the sport, few studies have investigated community-level football injury patterns. This study examines football injuries treated at emergency medical facilities using data from three Swedish counties.
An open-cohort design was used based on residents aged 0-59 years in three Swedish counties (pop. 645 520). Data were collected from emergency medical facilities in the study counties between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2010. Injury frequencies and proportions for age groups stratified by sex were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) and displayed per diagnostic group and body location.
Each year, more than 1/200 person aged 0-59 years sustained at least one injury during football play that required emergency medical care. The highest injury incidence was observed among adolescent boys [2009 injuries per 100 000 population years (95% CI 1914-2108)] and adolescent girls [1413 injuries per 100 000 population years (95% CI 1333-1498)]. For female adolescents and adults, knee joint/ligament injury was the outstanding injury type (20% in ages 13-17 years and 34% in ages 18-29 years). For children aged 7-12 years, more than half of the treated injuries involved the upper extremity; fractures constituted about one-third of these injuries.
One of every 200 residents aged 0-59 years in typical Swedish counties each year sustained a traumatic football injury that required treatment in emergency healthcare. Further research on community-level patterns of overuse syndromes sustained by participation in football play is warranted.
尽管这项运动很受欢迎，但很少有研究调查社区层面的足球损伤模式。本研究使用来自瑞典三个县的数据，调查在急诊医疗设施中治疗的足球损伤。
采用基于瑞典三个县（645520 名居民）0-59 岁居民的开放性队列设计。研究县的急诊医疗设施在 2007 年 1 月 1 日至 2010 年 12 月 31 日期间收集数据。按性别分层的年龄组计算损伤频率和比例，置信区间为 95%（95%CI），并按诊断组和身体部位显示。
每年，超过 1/200 名 0-59 岁的人在足球比赛中受伤，需要紧急医疗护理。最高的损伤发生率发生在青少年男孩中[2009 例/100000 人年（95%CI 1914-2108）]和青少年女孩中[1413 例/100000 人年（95%CI 1333-1498）]。对于女性青少年和成年人，膝关节/韧带损伤是突出的损伤类型（13-17 岁年龄组为 20%，18-29 岁年龄组为 34%）。对于 7-12 岁的儿童，超过一半的治疗损伤涉及上肢；这些损伤中有三分之一是骨折。
在典型的瑞典县，每年每 200 名 0-59 岁的居民中就有一人因参与足球运动而遭受创伤性足球损伤，需要在急诊医疗保健中接受治疗。需要进一步研究社区层面的足球运动过度综合征模式。
