The popularity of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) men's lacrosse has been steadily increasing since the early 1980s.
Injury surveillance is an important tool to aid in identifying emerging patterns of sport-related injury in NCAA men's lacrosse.
Injury data collected from a sample of men's lacrosse teams through the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program for the academic years 2014-2015 through 2018-2019 were analyzed. Athlete exposures were estimated and computed based on collected exposure data. Injury counts, rates, and proportions were used to describe injury characteristics, and injury rate ratios (IRRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate differences in injury rates.
The overall injury rate was 4.90 per 1000 athlete exposures (AEs), and the competition injury rate was higher than the practice injury rate (IRR = 2.59; 95% CI = 2.35, 2.84). The overall preseason injury rate was higher than the regular and postseason injury rates. The most reported injuries were concussions (8.0%), ankle sprains (7.7%), and hamstring tears (6.9%).
Study findings were comparable with existing epidemiological evidence. The overall burden of concussions and lower extremity injuries warrant further attention in this population.
自 20 世纪 80 年代初以来，全美大学体育协会（NCAA）男子长曲棍球的受欢迎程度稳步上升。
对 2014-2015 学年至 2018-2019 学年通过 NCAA 损伤监测计划从男子长曲棍球队样本中收集的损伤数据进行了分析。根据收集的暴露数据估计和计算运动员暴露量。使用损伤计数、发生率和比例来描述损伤特征，并计算损伤率比（IRR）及其 95%置信区间（CI），以估计损伤率的差异。
总体损伤率为每 1000 名运动员暴露（AE）4.90 次，比赛损伤率高于练习损伤率（IRR=2.59；95%CI=2.35，2.84）。总体 preseason 损伤率高于常规赛和季后赛。报告最多的损伤是脑震荡（8.0%）、踝关节扭伤（7.7%）和腿筋撕裂（6.9%）。
研究结果与现有流行病学证据相当。在该人群中，脑震荡和下肢损伤的总体负担值得进一步关注。
