Retrospective Analysis of Patient Presentations at the Sydney (Australia) Royal Easter Show from 2012 to 2014

Abstract: This study demonstrated that analyses of patient presentations at an agricultural show provide unique insights on weather, attendance, and demographic features that correlated with treatment and disposition. These data can help guide organizers with information on how to better staff and train health care providers at future mass-gathering events of this type.

“…This number is entirely in line with previous studies. 24,25 When comparing the predicted number of patient presentations, both the Arbon and the Hartman model had reasonable differences in mean deviation in predicting the patient presentations. However, the PRIMA model had a significant difference in the mean deviation of the predicted patient presentations because of the continuous overprediction.…”

“…Similar to sporting mass gatherings, the nature of other/cultural festivals may include other high-risk activities that increase the prevalence of health risks. For example, attendees at agricultural shows are expected to engage in high-risk activities, such as show jumping and wood chopping [73,160] that may increase the likelihood of injuries. Another example can be seen at the Suwa Onbashira Festival in Japan, where attendees ride logs down steep slopes, which increases the likelihood of injuries [205].…”
