To report epidemiological data regarding injury and illness among the Team USA staff during the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games and Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
A retrospective review of all Team USA staff (total staff, N=1703 (62.5% female); total staff days (SD)=34 489) medical encounters during the Tokyo 2020 Games and Beijing 2022 Games was conducted. Details related to injury and illness were evaluated. Incidence with 95% CI per 1000 staff days were calculated.
A total of 32 illnesses (incidence [95% CI] 0.9 [0.6, 1.2]) and 23 injuries (incidence 0.7 [0.4, 0.9]) were sustained by the Team USA delegation staff members during the Tokyo 2020 Games and Beijing 2022 Games. Female staff reported more illnesses (illnesses proportion (IP) 2.9%; incidence 1.4 [0.8, 2.0]), while male staff incurred more injuries (IP 1.8%; incidence 0.9 [0.5, 1.3]). When stratified by physiological system, dermatological and infectious were the most common systems involved with illness (IP 0.5%; incidence 0.2 [0.1, 0.4]). Injuries to the upper limb were most common (IP 0.3%; incidence 0.3 [0.1, 0.5]).
Injury and illness rates among the Team USA staff during the Tokyo 2020 Games and Beijing 2022 Games were low, but notable. Knowledge of injury and illness risks contributes to staffing decisions and prevention strategies for staff supporting athletes during competition.
报告2020年东京夏季奥运会和残奥会以及2022年北京冬季奥运会和残奥会期间美国队工作人员的伤病流行病学数据。
对2020年东京奥运会和2022年北京奥运会期间美国队所有工作人员（工作人员总数，N = 1703人（62.5%为女性）；工作人员总天数（SD）= 34489天）的医疗就诊情况进行回顾性分析。评估与伤病相关的详细信息。计算每1000工作人员日的发病率及95%置信区间。
在2020年东京奥运会和2022年北京奥运会期间，美国队代表团工作人员共出现32例疾病（发病率[95%置信区间]0.9[0.6, 1.2]）和23例伤病（发病率0.7[0.4, 0.9]）。女性工作人员报告的疾病更多（疾病比例（IP）2.9%；发病率1.4[0.8, 2.0]），而男性工作人员的伤病更多（IP 1.8%；发病率0.9[0.5, 1.3]）。按生理系统分层时，皮肤病和传染病是与疾病相关的最常见系统（IP 0.5%；发病率0.2[0.1, 0.4]）。上肢受伤最为常见（IP 0.3%；发病率0.3[0.1, 0.5]）。
2020年东京奥运会和2022年北京奥运会期间美国队工作人员的伤病率较低，但值得关注。了解伤病风险有助于在比赛期间为支持运动员的工作人员做出人员配置决策和制定预防策略。
