| Popis: | BACKGROUND The aim of this investigation was to provide a detailed analysis of accidents on ski slopes of Styrian resorts comparing two winter seasons. METHODS Accident data requiring the presence of the ski patrol of the seasons 2007/08 (10 skiing resorts with 1029 injuries) and 2014/15 (8 resorts with 1844 injuries) were recorded. Accidents were normalized to 1000 skier days and 10000 lift transports. Patients were followed to hospitals to obtain information about injured body region, final diagnosis and type of treatment. RESULTS A slight increase of injuries from 0.5 to 0.7 per 1000 skier-days was found (P=0.046). Overall, the knee was most commonly affected followed by shoulder, lower leg, head and forearm.
