This study seeks to evaluate the epidemiology of pickleball upper/lower extremity injuries presenting to US emergency departments (E.D). The National Electronic Injury and Surveillance System (NEISS) database was queried from 2003-2022 to identify patients presenting to the ED with injuries sustained during 'pickleball' to upper/lower extremities. Patients were subsequently divided into pediatric, adult, and geriatric age groups. Demographic and clinical variables were assessed among age groups utilizing two-proportion z-tests with Bonferroni correction. A total of 749 patients with extremity pickleball injuries were identified from NEISS (33 pediatric, 286 adult, 430 geriatric). Pickleball extremity injuries dramatically increased from 2012 to 2022 by 3,650%. Geriatric and pediatric patients had greater frequencies of upper extremity injuries relative to adults (60.2% vs. 40.6%; < 0.001 and 63.6% vs 40.6%; = 0.022, respectively). Adults had a significantly greater frequency of lower extremity injuries (59.4%) relative to both pediatric (36.4%; = 0.022) and geriatric (39.8%; < 0.001) patients. Patients who were hospitalized after injury were significantly older (68.8 vs. 62.5; = 0.033) and most commonly incurred a fracture (88.9% vs 34.8%; < 0.001). This study provides a critical epidemiological analysis of injury trends captured in this popular sport.
本研究旨在评估美国急诊科收治的匹克球运动所致上肢/下肢损伤的流行病学情况。查询了2003年至2022年的国家电子伤害监测系统(NEISS)数据库,以确定因“匹克球”运动导致上肢/下肢受伤并前往急诊科就诊的患者。随后将患者分为儿童、成人和老年年龄组。利用经Bonferroni校正的双比例z检验对各年龄组的人口统计学和临床变量进行评估。从NEISS数据库中总共识别出749例有匹克球运动肢体损伤的患者(33例儿童、286例成人、430例老年患者)。2012年至2022年期间,匹克球运动肢体损伤急剧增加,增幅达3650%。与成人相比,老年和儿童患者上肢受伤的频率更高(分别为60.2%对40.6%;P<0.001和63.6%对40.6%;P=0.022)。与儿童患者(36.4%;P=0.022)和老年患者(39.8%;P<0.001)相比,成人下肢受伤的频率显著更高(59.4%)。受伤后住院的患者年龄显著更大(68.8岁对62.5岁;P=0.033),且最常见的损伤是骨折(88.9%对34.8%;P<0.001)。本研究对这项热门运动中记录的损伤趋势进行了关键的流行病学分析。
