To report the estimated number and the types of pickleball-related injuries stratified by sex and age presenting to U.S. emergency departments from 2020 to 2022, as estimated by the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database.
Data from the NEISS database were queried to characterize pickleball-related injuries that presented to 96 NEISS-affiliated emergency departments across the United States between 2020 and 2022. The estimated numbers of injuries and hospital admissions were calculated using weights assigned by the NEISS based on geographical location. Narratives for each emergency department visit were manually reviewed to categorize injuries by type and site. Multivariable analyses were used to determine risk factors associated with pickleball-related hospital admissions.
The estimated number of annual pickleball-related injuries presenting to U.S. emergency departments increased by 91% from 2020 to 2022 (8,894 injuries vs 16,997 injuries). Pickleball-related hospital admissions increased by 257% from 2020 in 2022 (992 hospital admissions vs 3,541 hospital admissions). Most injuries (73%, 9,932 estimated injuries per year) were sustained by patients aged between 60 and 79 years (mean ± standard deviation, 63.9 ± 14.7 years). The most common types of injuries were fractures (29%, 3,990 estimated injuries per year) and strains/sprains (21%, 2,808 estimated injuries per year). Multivariable analyses controlling for age, sex, injury type, and injury site showed that patients aged 65 years or older were at an increased risk of hospitalization (odds ratio, 2.48; 95% confidence interval, 1.54-4.11; < .001) compared with those younger than 65 years.
The estimated number of pickleball-related injuries presenting to U.S. emergency departments and subsequent hospital admissions has increased by 91% and 257%, respectively, from 2020 to 2022. Patients who were aged 65 years or older at the time of injury were at an increased risk of hospital admission.
Understanding the current trends and types of pickleball-related injuries presenting to U.S. emergency departments is critical toward the development of injury prevention measures and understanding the U.S. health care system, particularly as participation in pickleball continues to grow.
根据国家电子伤害监测系统（NEISS）数据库估算2020年至2022年期间美国急诊科收治的按性别和年龄分层的匹克球相关损伤的估计数量和类型。
查询NEISS数据库中的数据，以描述2020年至2022年期间美国96家NEISS附属急诊科收治的匹克球相关损伤情况。使用NEISS根据地理位置分配的权重计算损伤和住院人数的估计值。人工审查每次急诊科就诊的记录，按类型和部位对损伤进行分类。采用多变量分析确定与匹克球相关住院相关的危险因素。
2020年至2022年期间，美国急诊科收治的年度匹克球相关损伤估计数量增加了91%（从8894例增加到16997例）。2022年与2020年相比，匹克球相关住院人数增加了257%（从992例增加到3541例）。大多数损伤（73%，每年估计9932例损伤）发生在60至79岁的患者中（平均±标准差，63.9±14.7岁）。最常见的损伤类型是骨折（29%，每年估计3990例损伤）和拉伤/扭伤（21%，每年估计2808例损伤）。对年龄、性别、损伤类型和损伤部位进行多变量分析后发现，65岁及以上的患者住院风险增加（比值比，2.48；95%置信区间，1.54 - 4.11；P <.001），而65岁以下的患者则不然。
2020年至2022年期间，美国急诊科收治的匹克球相关损伤估计数量和随后的住院人数分别增加了91%和257%。受伤时年龄在65岁及以上的患者住院风险增加。
了解美国急诊科收治的匹克球相关损伤的当前趋势和类型对于制定损伤预防措施以及了解美国医疗保健系统至关重要，尤其是在匹克球参与人数持续增长的情况下。
