Tackle Football

Background: Non-tackle football (ie, flag, touch, 7v7) is purported to be a lower-risk alternative to tackle football, particularly in terms of head injuries. However, data on head injuries in non-tackle football are sparse, particularly among youth participants. Purpose: To describe the epidemiology of  emergency department visits for head injuries due to non-tackle football among youth players in the United States and compare the data with basketball, soccer, and tackle football. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Injury data from 2014 to 2018 were obtained from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database. Injury reports coded for patients aged 6 to 18 years and associated with basketball, football, or soccer were extracted. Data were filtered to include only injuries to the head region, specifically, the head, ear, eyeball, mouth, or face. Football injuries were manually assigned to “non-tackle” or “tackle” based on the injury narratives. Sports & Fitness Industry Association data were used to estimate annual sport participation and calculate annual injury rates per 100,000 participant-years. Results: A total of 26,770 incident reports from 2014 to 2018 were analyzed. For head region injuries in non-tackle football, the head was the most commonly injured body part, followed by the face; the most common diagnosis was a laceration, followed by concussion and internal injury (defined as an unspecified head injury or internal head injury [eg, subdural hematoma or cerebral contusion]). The most common contacting object was another player. The projected national rate of head region injuries was lowest for non-tackle football across the 4 sports. In particular, the projected rate of injuries to the head for non-tackle football (78.0 per 100,000 participant-years) was less than one-fourth the rates for basketball (323.5 per 100,000 participant-years) and soccer (318.2 per 100,000 participant-years) and less than one-tenth the rate for tackle football (1478.6 per 100,000 participant-years). Conclusion: Among youth in the United States aged 6 to 18 years who were treated in the emergency department for injuries related to playing non-tackle football, the most common diagnosis for injuries to the head region was a laceration, followed by a concussion. Head region injuries associated with non-tackle football occurred at a notably lower rate than basketball, soccer, or tackle football.

Abstract BackgroundThis study aimed to explore the association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and early growth of traumatic intraparenchymal haemorrhage (tICH) in patients with traumatic brain injury.MethodsA multicentre, observational cohort study was conducted at four hospitals and included patients with cerebral contusion undergoing baseline computed tomography (CT) for haematoma volume analysis within 6 hours after primary injury and who had follow-up visits within 48 hours. Routine blood tests were performed upon admission and analysed with early PIH. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to explore the predictive value of the NLR for haematoma expansion. ResultsThe final analysis included 1003 patients in the retrospective development and validation cohorts. In the retrospective development cohort, the NLR were higher in the PIH group than in the non-PIH group (P<0.0001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a higher NLR was independently associated with PIH (P<0.0001). ROC curve analysis showed that the NLR had a sensitive ability for predicting PIH (AUC, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.88-0.94]). In the validation study, the NLR had a similar ability to predict PIH. ConclusionThe NLR can be used to easily assess the growth of tICH and calculated using routine laboratory tests. A high NLR is independently predictive of early growth of tICH and may aid in risk stratification of patients with tICH on admission.

Abstract Backgroundtraumatic asphyxia (TA) is a rarely reported disease characterized as thoraco-cervico-facial petechiae, facial edema and cyanosis, subconjunctival hemorrhage and neurological symptoms. This study aimed to report 51 children of TA at the pediatric medical center of west China.Methodsscanned medical reports were reviewed and specific variables as age, sex, cause of injury, clinical manifestations and associated injuries were analyzed using SPSS 25.0.Resultsaged as 5.3±2.9 (1.3-13.2), 30 (58.8%) were boys and 21 (41.2%) were girls. Most TAs occurred during vehicle accident, object compression and stampede. All patients showed facial petechiae (100.0%, CI 93.0%-100.0%), 25 (49.0%, CI 34.8%-63.2%) out of 51 presented with facial edema, 29 (56.9%, CI 42.8%-70.9%) presented with subconjunctival hemorrhage, including bilateral 27 and unilateral 2. 6 patients had facial cyanosis (11.8%, CI 2.6%-20.9%). Other symptoms were also presented as epileptic seizure, vomiting, incontinence, paraplegia, etc. The most frequent companion injury was pulmonary contusion (76.5%, CI 64.4%-88.5%). Other companion injuries included mediastinal emphysema, fracture, cerebral contusion and hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, abdominal organ contusion, mastoid hemorrhage, hematocele of paranasal sinuses, spinal injury, hepatic insufficiency, myocardial injury and retinal hemorrhage and edema. Treatment was mainly supportive. No death occurred in our study. The prognosis is rather good if without damage of central nervous system.ConclusionTA could bring out multiple symptoms, among which retinal hemorrhage and edema, spinal injury and viscera impairment have been less observed. Comprehensive physical and auxiliary examination should be performed considering TA. Its prognosis is rather good with focus on life-threatening complications.
