| Popis: | Prospective epidemiologic data on all sports injuries were collected in a casualty ward for 1 year in a well defined geographical area with 124,321 inhabitants. A total of 1839 sports injuries were registered; 1535 (83%) of those injured completed questionnaires covering the sports, economic and social consequences of the sports injury. The incidence of sports injury was 61 per 1000 active sports players per year and 15 per 1000 inhabitants in the catchment population per year. The injuries resulted in an average sick leave from work of 3 d and 4 weeks out of competition and training; 16% had chronic health problems 2 years after injury and, unexpectedly, as many as 7% stopped participating in sports. The total net loss of income was DKK 147,900 (USD 23,000), an average of DKK 1781 (USD 270) for each person who had a financial loss. Abbreviated Injury Scale scores, hospitalization rates and inpatient time were correlated. |
