“…The most comparable study is a validation study of the CDC's emergency department surveillance system for all injuries (including nonsports injuries), NEISS-AIP, which had a capture rate of 83% (490/593 injury events). 29 This capture rate was considered very good for surveillance purposes, and NEISS-AIP is widely regarded as the most reliable system for monitoring emergency department injury visits.…”

Context:Few validation studies of sport injury-surveillance systems are available.Objective: To determine the validity of a Web-based system for surveillance of collegiate sport injuries, the Injury Surveillance System (ISS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA).Design: Validation study comparing NCAA ISS data from 2 fall collegiate sports (men's and women's soccer) with other types of clinical records maintained by certified athletic trainers.Setting: A purposive sample of 15 NCAA colleges and universities that provided NCAA ISS data on both men's and women's soccer for at least 2 years during 2005-2007, stratified by playing division.Patients or Other Participants: A total of 737 men's and women's soccer athletes and 37 athletic trainers at these 15 institutions.Main Outcome Measure(s): The proportion of injuries captured by the NCAA ISS (capture rate) was estimated by comparing NCAA ISS data with the other clinical records on the same athletes maintained by the athletic trainers. We reviewed all athletic injury events resulting from participation in NCAA collegiate sports that resulted in 1 day or more of restricted activity in games or practices and necessitated medical care. A capture-recapture analysis estimated the proportion of injury events captured by the NCAA ISS. Agreement for key data fields was also measured.Results: We analyzed 664 injury events. The NCAA ISS captured 88.3% (95% confidence interval = 85.9%, 90.8%) of all time-lost medical-attention injury events. The proportion of injury events captured by the NCAA ISS was higher in Division I (93.8%) and Division II (89.6%) than in Division III (82.3%) schools. Agreement between the NCAA ISS data and the non-NCAA ISS data was good for the majority of data fields but low for date of full return and days lost from sport participation.Conclusions: The overall capture rate of the NCAA ISS was very good (88%) in men's and women's soccer for this period.Key Words: capture-recapture analysis, injury epidemiology, time loss, collegiate athletes Key Points• Overall, the capture rate of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System was 88% for men's and women's soccer injuries during the study period.• Thus, this injury-surveillance system is capable of providing reliable and valid injury statistics, at least for men's and women's soccer.

“…Previous studies have demonstrated the NEISS's accuracy in identifying injuries. 3,4,11 The NEISS database is updated daily and allows estimation of the epidemiology of injury-related ED visits. Data regarding tricycle (product code: 1301) injuries among children ,18 years of age were retrospectively analyzed from calendar years 2012 to 2013 using the NEISS database.…”

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of tricycle-related injuries in children presenting to US emergency departments (EDs).METHODS: Data regarding tricycle injuries in children younger than 18 years of age were obtained from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System for calendar years 2012 and 2013. Data included body regions injured, ED disposition, and demographics.RESULTS: There were an estimated 9340 tricycle-related injuries treated in US EDs from 2012 to 2013. The average age was 3 years. Children 2 years of age had the highest frequency of injuries. Boys accounted for 63.6% of all injuries. Children 1 to 2 years of age represented 51.9% of all injuries. Lacerations were the most common type of injury. Internal organ damage was the most common type of injury in 3-and 5-year-olds. Contusions were the most common type of injury in 1-and 7-year-olds. The head was the most commonly injured region of the body and the most common region to endure internal damage. The elbows were the most commonly fractured body part. The upper extremity was more frequently fractured than the lower extremity. Approximately 2.4% of all injured children were admitted to the hospital. CONCLUSIONS:The upper extremity of children, particularly the elbow, was more frequently fractured than the lower extremity. The head was the most common body part to endure internal damage. By elucidating the characteristics of tricycle-related injuries, preventive measures can be implemented to decrease the incidence of tricycle-related injuries and ED visits. WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:Tricycle riding is a common activity in children. In calendar year 2012, tricycle accidents were the most common cause of reported toy-related deaths in children. Little research has been conducted regarding tricycle-related injuries and how to counsel parents appropriately. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:This study uses nationally representative data to investigate various characteristics of tricycle-related injuries in children to better counsel parents. This study highlights the importance of helmet and elbow pad use and parental supervision.
