Only a few studies have been conducted on trampoline-associated injuries in adults, especially in Switzerland. The aim of the present study was to describe the characteristics of trampoline-related injuries in patients older than 16 years of age and track their development over time by comparing two different time periods.
Data were gathered from the emergency department (ED) of Bern University Hospital. A retrospective design was chosen to allow analysis of changes in trampolining accidents between 2003-2020.
A total of 144 patients were enrolled. The number of ED presentations due to trampoline-related injury rose significantly over time. The most common injuries were sprains to the extremities (age group 31-62: 58.4% and age group 16-30: 50.8%), followed by fractures (age group 31-62: 33.3% and age group 16-30: 32.5%). Lower extremities appeared to be the most frequently injured body region (age group 31-62: 20.8% and age group 16-30: 10.0%), although the differences were not statistically significant, = 0.363. BMI was significantly higher for older than for younger patients ( = 0.004).
Over the last two decades, trampoline-related injuries have become more common in patients older than 16 years of age. These are most common in the lower extremities. While most of the patients in the present study only suffered minor injuries, the occasional severe injury might result in long-term disability. As trampoline-related injuries in adults are becoming more common, prevention strategies in public education and safety instructions must be optimised.
仅有少数研究针对成年人与蹦床相关的伤害进行了研究,尤其是在瑞士。本研究的目的是描述 16 岁以上患者与蹦床相关的伤害特征,并通过比较两个不同时期来追踪其随时间的变化。
数据来自伯尔尼大学医院的急诊科。选择回顾性设计,以允许分析 2003-2020 年期间蹦床事故的变化。
共纳入 144 名患者。因蹦床相关伤害而到急诊科就诊的人数呈显著上升趋势。最常见的损伤是四肢扭伤(31-62 岁年龄组:58.4%和 16-30 岁年龄组:50.8%),其次是骨折(31-62 岁年龄组:33.3%和 16-30 岁年龄组:32.5%)。下肢似乎是最常受伤的身体部位(31-62 岁年龄组:20.8%和 16-30 岁年龄组:10.0%),尽管差异无统计学意义,=0.363。BMI 对于年龄较大的患者明显高于年龄较小的患者(=0.004)。
在过去的二十年中,16 岁以上患者的蹦床相关伤害变得更为常见。这些伤害最常见于下肢。虽然本研究中的大多数患者仅受轻伤,但偶尔的重伤可能导致长期残疾。随着成年人与蹦床相关的伤害越来越常见,公共教育和安全指导方面的预防策略必须得到优化。
