Jockey safety is of paramount importance from the standpoint of welfare and public perception. Thus, an understanding of the epidemiology and associated risk factors is necessary to implement measures to reduce the jockey falls (JFs) and jokey injuries (JIs). This descriptive epidemiological study investigated the occurrence of JFs and JIs in 715,210 and 25,183 rides in flat and jump races, respectively, from 2003 to 2017. In flat races, the incidence rates of JFs and JIs were 1.4 and 0.6 per 1,000 rides, respectively. In jump races, they were 44.4 and 18.1 per 1,000 rides, respectively. In flat races, 56.8% of JFs at corners resulted in JIs. In jump races, the major causes of JFs and JIs were lost balance and hampered by a fallen horse at an obstacle. Our findings provide a basis to design a future study analyzing risk factors for JFs.
从福利和公众认知的角度来看，骑师安全至关重要。因此，了解流行病学及相关风险因素对于实施减少骑师落马（JFs）和骑师受伤（JIs）的措施是必要的。这项描述性流行病学研究调查了2003年至2017年期间平地赛和障碍赛中分别715,210次和25,183次骑行中骑师落马和骑师受伤的发生情况。在平地赛中，骑师落马和骑师受伤的发生率分别为每1000次骑行1.4次和0.6次。在障碍赛中，它们分别为每1000次骑行44.4次和18.1次。在平地赛中，弯道处56.8%的骑师落马导致骑师受伤。在障碍赛中，骑师落马和骑师受伤的主要原因是失去平衡以及在障碍物处被倒下的马绊倒。我们的研究结果为设计未来分析骑师落马风险因素的研究提供了依据。
