Injuries in Quidditch: A Descriptive Epidemiological Study

Abstract: Background: Quidditch is a fast growing, physically intense, mixed-gender full-contact sport. Originally adapted from Harry Potter novels, quidditch was first played in 2005 in the USA but is now played worldwide. It is essential to elucidate patterns of injury for the safety and growth of the sport of quidditch. It also provides a unique opportunity to study injury patterns in mixed-gender full-contact sport, an area of increasing importance with the developing culture of transition from single-gender to mixe… Show more

“…There was a trend toward an increased RR for baseball/softball, swimming/diving, and track and field, but there was a large range in RR from individual comparisons ( Some sports were represented by only a few studies, and pooled summary estimates were not calculated (Appendix 2, Figures A8 and A9, available online). In those studies, a higher concussion incidence was reported in females versus males for quidditch (RR, 1.87; single study), 44 badminton (RR, 1.94; single study), 5 and water polo (RR, 1.27 and 1.43; 2 studies), 5,6 although statistical significance could not be established. Concussion incidences for female and male tennis players were low and varied greatly depending on the study and setting (RR range, 0.19-4.31).…”

“…Contact sports included lacrosse, ice hockey, soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, water polo, taekwondo, rugby, volleyball, and quidditch.

“…Following review, two articles were identified as prospective injury epidemiological studies based on their inclusion of injury epidemiology, which was composed of various injury types (i.e. fractures, sprains) (5,6). Two other studies were identified as primarily concussion studies for their inclusion of injury epidemiology which only recorded concussions (7,8).…”

“…This is important when considering that concussion knowledge data in the Beidler et al(8) study showed that only 27.6% of the sports athletes were aware that neck pain is a sign of a concussion. Pennington et al(5) also stated that the overall rate of concussions in males was 0.651/1000 hours and in females was 1.163/1000 hours (0.877/1000 hours overall). The reviewers were not able to identify such quidditch-isolated values in the Brezinski et al (6) study.…”

“…In a recent search on PubMed, there were only 3 articles related to quidditch-one retrospective study and one prospective study looking at incidence rates of injuries in competitive quidditch [7]. One study on quidditch looked at injuries in the UK assessed by a retrospective self-administered survey given to athletes registered with the national governing body asking about injuries over the previous 12 months [7]. The incidence rates were reported as injury per 1000 h of play and found an overall incidence rate of 4.06 per 1000 h [7].…”
