To describe injury and illness incidence during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games (WOG) by Team USA.
A descriptive observational study. We used registered Team USA Olympic athletes' electronic medical records to review preparticipation health histories and medical encounters immediately prior to and throughout the 2018 WOG. Medical encounters were defined as all medical services provided by a healthcare provider, including evaluation, treatment and prophylactic services. All medical conditions were described according to International Olympic Committee injury and illness reporting criteria.
Team USA included 134 men and 108 women, aged 18-39 years, who represented 17 sport federations. The 47 Team USA medical staff documented 1744 medical encounters on 242 registered athletes (7.2 medical encounters per athlete). Forty-seven illnesses (194.2/1000 athletes) and 32 time loss injuries (132.2/1000 athletes) were recorded during the Games.
An injury surveillance programme consisting of an electronic preparticipation health history and surveillance of medical encounters during the WOG was used to describe the health status of Team USA. We noted limitations to the surveillance process that can be addressed at future events.
描述美国队在2018年冬奥会期间的伤病发生率。
一项描述性观察研究。我们使用美国队注册奥运运动员的电子病历，回顾2018年冬奥会之前及整个赛事期间的参赛前健康史和医疗接触情况。医疗接触被定义为医疗服务提供者提供的所有医疗服务，包括评估、治疗和预防性服务。所有医疗状况均根据国际奥委会伤病报告标准进行描述。
美国队包括134名男性和108名女性，年龄在18 - 39岁之间，代表17个体育联合会。美国队的47名医务人员记录了242名注册运动员的1744次医疗接触（每名运动员7.2次医疗接触）。赛事期间记录了47例疾病（每1000名运动员194.2例）和32例导致失能的伤病（每1000名运动员132.2例）。
一个由参赛前电子健康史和冬奥会期间医疗接触监测组成的伤病监测计划被用于描述美国队的健康状况。我们注意到监测过程中的局限性，这些局限性在未来赛事中可以得到解决。
