“…The concussion IR of 1.58/1000 exposures in our sample of youth ice hockey players aged 12 to 18 years was comparable to rates reported for other youth sports. 8,10,[13][14][15] In fact, in a recent study of youth football players, researchers reported a total concussion IR of 1.76/1000 exposures, 10 which is similar to the rate reported in the current study. In the current study, players had nearly 3 times more concussions per exposure in games compared with practices.…”

“…10 It is likely that similar findings would be supported among youth ice hockey players. The primary purpose of this study was to prospectively examine concussion IRs in a multisite cohort of male and female youth ice hockey players aged 12 to 18 years across a competitive season, and to compare IRs in games and practices, and between younger (12)(13)(14) and older (15)(16)(17)(18) players.…”

“…[46][47][48] Injury incidences in high school basketball (1.94/1000 AEs), 46 soccer (2.4/1000 AEs), 48 and football (gridiron, 3.5/1000 AEs) 47 were all lower than those reported by Collins et al 19 (5.2/1000 AEs). Despite using a slightly different definition of time loss as more than 48 hours, studies of high school lacrosse (2.89/1000 playing hours) 49 and youth soccer (11.2/1000 match hours) 50 players also showed lower injury rates than did rugby players.…”

Objective: Despite recent increases in the volume of research in professional rugby union, there is little consensus on the epidemiology of injury in adolescent players. We undertook a systematic review to determine the incidence, severity, and nature of injury in adolescent rugby union players.Data Sources: In April 2009, we performed a computerized literature search on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (via Ovid). Population-specific and patient-specific search terms were combined in the form of MEDLINE subject headings and key words (wound$ and injur$, rugby, adolescent$). These were supplemented with relatedcitation searches on PubMed and bibliographic tracking of primary and review articles.Study Selection: Prospective epidemiologic studies in adolescent rugby union players.Data Synthesis: A total of 15 studies were included, and the data were analyzed descriptively. Two independent reviewers extracted key study characteristics regarding the incidence, severity, and nature of injuries and the methodologic design. Conclusions:Wide variations existed in the injury definitions and data collection procedures. The incidence of injury necessitating medical attention varied with the definition, from 27.5 to 129.8 injuries per 1000 match hours. The incidence of timeloss injury (>7 days) ranged from 0.96 to 1.6 per 1000 playing hours and from 11.4/1000 match hours (>1 day) to 12-22/1000 match hours (missed games). The highest incidence of concussion was 3.3/1000 playing hours. No catastrophic injuries were reported. The head and neck, upper limb, and lower limb were all common sites of injury, and trends were noted toward greater time loss due to upper limb fractures or dislocations and knee ligament injuries. Increasing age, the early part of the playing season, and the tackle situation were most closely associated with injury. Future injury-surveillance studies in rugby union must follow consensus guidelines to facilitate interstudy comparisons and provide further clarification as to where injuryprevention strategies should be focused.Key Words: injury incidence, injury surveillance, high school athletes Key Points• Injury definitions and data collection procedures varied across studies, making comparisons difficult.• The head and neck, upper limb, and lower limb were common sites of injury.• Factors associated most often with injury were increasing age, early playing season, and tackles.

“…Rugby, ice hockey, and lacrosse also account for higher rates of concussions but are often club sports, which limits their data inclusion in the larger high school sports epidemiologic studies. [34][35][36][37] …”

Sport-related concussion is a "hot topic" in the media and in medicine. It is a common injury that is likely underreported by pediatric and adolescent athletes. Football has the highest incidence of concussion, but girls have higher concussion rates than boys do in similar sports. A clear understanding of the definition, signs, and symptoms of concussion is necessary to recognize it and rule out more severe intracranial injury. Concussion can cause symptoms that interfere with school, social and family relationships, and participation in sports. Recognition and education are paramount, because although proper equipment, sport technique, and adherence to rules of the sport may decrease the incidence or severity of concussions, nothing has been shown to prevent them. Appropriate management is essential for reducing the risk of long-term symptoms and complications. Cognitive and physical rest is the mainstay of management after diagnosis, and neuropsychological testing is a helpful tool in the management of concussion. Return to sport should be accomplished by using a progressive exercise program while evaluating for any return of signs or symptoms. This report serves as a basis for understanding the diagnosis and management of concussion in children and adolescent athletes.
