The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has sponsored women's ice hockey championships since 2001, and sponsorship has grown over time.
Routine examinations of injuries sustained by athletes are important for identifying and understanding patterns that can be used to inform sport safety practices.
Exposure and injury data collected in the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program from 2014-2015 through 2018-2019 were analyzed. Injury counts, rates, and proportions were used to describe injury characteristics, and injury rate ratios were used to examine differential injury rates.
The overall injury rate was 5.89 per 1000 athlete-exposures; preseason injury incidence rose sharply during 2016-2017 through 2018-2019. Head/face injuries (15.2%), knee injuries (13.2%), and shoulder injuries (12.9%) were the most commonly injured body parts, and injuries were most often classified as contusions (18.9%), strains (18.7%), and sprains (15.5%). Concussion (11.9%) was the most commonly reported specific injury, and concussion rates notably increased during 2017-2018 through 2018-2019.
Study findings were generally consistent with the existing epidemiological evidence. Injury incidence in preseason and the etiology of strains warrant further attention in this population.
运动员受伤的常规检查对于识别和了解可用于告知运动安全实践的模式非常重要。
对 2014-2015 年至 2018-2019 年期间 NCAA 损伤监测计划中收集的暴露和损伤数据进行了分析。使用损伤计数、发生率和比例来描述损伤特征，并使用损伤率比来检查差异损伤率。
总体损伤率为每 1000 名运动员暴露 5.89 次；2016-2017 年至 2018-2019 年期间，季前赛的损伤发生率急剧上升。头部/面部损伤（15.2%）、膝盖损伤（13.2%）和肩部损伤（12.9%）是最常见的受伤部位，损伤最常被归类为挫伤（18.9%）、劳损（18.7%）和扭伤（15.5%）。脑震荡（11.9%）是最常见的报告特定损伤，2017-2018 年至 2018-2019 年期间，脑震荡发生率显著增加。
研究结果与现有流行病学证据基本一致。季前赛的损伤发生率和劳损的病因在该人群中值得进一步关注。
