To compare injury incidences between the 2022/23 season and the preceding five seasons, and between World Cup players and non-World Cup players during the 2022/23 season.
During the 2022/23 season, 29 teams participated in the Union of European Football Associations Elite Club Injury Study and reported football exposures and injuries prospectively. Injury incidence was compared with that of the five preceding seasons for the full season and for periods before and after the Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cup 2022. In addition, World Cup players were compared with non-World Cup players. Incidences were compared using rate ratio (RR) with 95% CI.
Injury incidences during the 2022/23 season were similar to previous seasons except for training incidence which, due to a significantly lower incidence in the 2017/18 season compared with all other seasons, was higher during the full season (RR 1.10, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.21) and in the period before the World Cup (RR 1.17, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.35). World Cup players had similar injury incidences before and after the tournament (training incidence; RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.38, match incidence; RR 1.15, 95% CI 0.87 to 1.52) but a significantly lower match incidence than non-World Cup players before the tournament (RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.71 to 1.00).
No major changes in injury incidences were observed during the 2022/23 season compared with previous seasons. World Cup players experienced similar injury incidences before and after the tournament, and had a lower match injury incidence before the tournament compared with non-World Cup players.
比较2022/23赛季与前五个赛季之间的伤病发生率，以及2022/23赛季世界杯参赛球员与非世界杯参赛球员之间的伤病发生率。
在2022/23赛季，29支球队参与了欧洲足球协会联盟精英俱乐部伤病研究，并前瞻性地报告了足球运动暴露情况和伤病情况。将整个赛季以及2022年国际足联世界杯前后各阶段的伤病发生率与此前五个赛季进行比较。此外，还对世界杯参赛球员与非世界杯参赛球员进行了比较。采用率比（RR）及95%置信区间（CI）对发生率进行比较。
2022/23赛季的伤病发生率与前几个赛季相似，但训练伤病发生率除外，由于2017/18赛季的发生率显著低于其他所有赛季，因此整个赛季（RR 1.10，95%CI 1.00至1.21）以及世界杯前阶段（RR 1.17，95%CI 1.02至1.35）的训练伤病发生率较高。世界杯参赛球员在赛事前后的伤病发生率相似（训练伤病发生率：RR 0.95，95%CI 0.65至1.38，比赛伤病发生率：RR 1.15，95%CI 0.87至1.52），但在赛事前的比赛伤病发生率显著低于非世界杯参赛球员（RR 0.84，95%CI 0.71至1.00）。
与前几个赛季相比，2022/23赛季未观察到伤病发生率有重大变化。世界杯参赛球员在赛事前后的伤病发生率相似，且在赛事前的比赛伤病发生率低于非世界杯参赛球员。
