The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Mountain Bike World Cup in 2019 provided unique challenges for effective prehospital care. While on-site medical care has demonstrated improved outcomes along with reduced emergency department and emergency medical services (EMS) utilization, this aspect has not been well documented in the literature with respect to rural mass gathering events (MGEs). Conducted at a large mass gathering event in a geographically isolated area, this study aimed to assess the medical needs at this specific event and will hopefully assist in future coordination of similar events. All patients who were treated at the event clinic were included in the analysis. Primary investigators collected and recorded data while providing care. We believe the on-site clinic was successful in reducing barriers to healthcare by improving access, streamlining the treatment process, and optimizing resource utilization. This benefit extended to race participants, support staff, spectators, and the local EMS system.
2019年国际自行车联盟（UCI）山地自行车世界杯给有效的院前护理带来了独特挑战。虽然现场医疗护理已显示出改善的治疗效果，同时减少了急诊科和紧急医疗服务（EMS）的使用，但在农村大型集会活动（MGEs）方面，这一情况在文献中尚未得到充分记录。本研究在一个地理上孤立的地区的大型集会活动中进行，旨在评估该特定活动中的医疗需求，并有望为未来类似活动的协调提供帮助。所有在活动诊所接受治疗的患者都纳入了分析。主要研究人员在提供护理时收集并记录数据。我们认为，现场诊所通过改善就医机会、简化治疗流程和优化资源利用，成功减少了医疗保健障碍。这一益处惠及了比赛参与者、支持人员、观众和当地的EMS系统。
