“…An increased incidence was also observed in spectator seating areas. The rate of OHCA rose during sports viewing [17][18][19][20][21], and the emotional stress experienced while watching sports can precipitate acute cardiovascular events [22][23][24][25][26]. The findings of this study underscore the importance of promoting awareness of relief in toilets and spectator seating areas.…”

In recent years, large-scale sports events have been held in Japan, making it necessary to ensure a strategic and systematic emergency medical system in stadiums. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of emergency medical care at stadiums and sports facilities in Japan. Methods: This cross-sectional study used national emergency transport data recorded from 2015 to 2019. The study population included all emergency transport cases that occurred at athletic fields, stadiums, and sports facilities throughout Japan. Cases during competition were classified into sports-related emergency transport incidents (SrETi) and non-SrETi (NSrETi). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine factors associated with severity. Results: In total, 26,710,631 individuals were registered (14,078 SrETi, 15,458 NSrETi, 29,536 total). In the SrETi group, nine participants (0.06%) died, four (0.03%) became seriously ill, and 313 (2.22%) sustained serious injuries. In the NSrETi group, 92 participants (0.60%) died, 17 (0.10%) became seriously ill, and 882 (5.71%) sustained serious injuries. Factors associated with the severity of injuries included being in the NSrETi group (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29-1.76) and the incident taking place in a toilet (AOR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.09-3.12), a swimming pool (AOR, 3.67; 95% CI, 2.83-4.77), or other locations (AOR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.08-1.46) (vs. the ground). Conclusion: Severe illnesses and injuries occurred not only among competitors but also among non-athletes (e.g., spectators and staff). Training of first responders and strategic placement of automated external defibrillators should also be considered for future sports events.

Introduction. The article carries out a critical review of the literature and updates the emphasis in organizing the preparation and holding of major sporting events from the point of view of a healthcare organizer.Target: to identify areas of activity that require further improvement and development in the organization of medical support for major sporting events.Materials and methods. An analysis of the available literary sources of databases was carried out: RSCI, RusMed, Pubmed, Web of Science.Results. The most pressing groups of issues for further study and solution have been identified: the uniqueness, significance and complexity of sporting events; statistics and structure of diseases and injuries; features of the structure and course of medical conditions at sports facilities and events; organizing interaction between different services within the healthcare system and interdepartmental interaction; prevention and monitoring of infectious diseases; features of training of medical personnel.Conclusion. The holding of major sporting events, in turn, is a driver for the development of the healthcare system in the host city and country. Preparing for such an event requires the creation of a vision, operational plans, targeted training of personnel and infrastructure.
