Abstract

Objective: There is a lack of comprehensive analysis of injuries in golf per exposure time. Thus, the aim was to report the pooled incidence of injuries in golf.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases in March 2024 for this systematic review and meta-analysis. We included observational studies reporting the number of injuries per exposure time. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled injury incidence per 1000 athlete exposures (18 holes of golf) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Incidences were separately analyzed for men, women, amateurs, professionals, and special athletes.

Results: A total of 999 studies were screened, 29 full texts were assessed, and 7 studies with 269,754 athlete exposures were included. Seven studies assessed the overall incidence of injury, and the pooled estimate was 2.5 per 1000 athlete exposures (CI 0.9-7.5). The incidence was higher in special athletes (21.0, CI 7.7-45.1; one study) than among professionals (8.5, CI 7.6-9.4; one study), or in amateurs (1.3, CI 0.5-4.0; five studies). The injury incidence was 2.6 per 1000 athlete exposures (CI 0.7-9.6; four studies) in women and 1.4 per 1000 athlete exposures (CI 0.4-5.2; three studies) in men. A sensitivity analysis without special athletes had an incidence of 1.9 (CI 0.7-4.9; six studies).

Conclusion: The injury incidence in golf is 2.5 injuries per 1000 athlete exposures (18 holes of golf). Reporting was limited as only one study reported injuries per exposure time in professionals, and in total, only seven studies were found. More research is needed in all levels and age groups to better estimate the injury incidence and associated risk factors in golf.

高尔夫球运动中的损伤发生率--系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的：目前还缺乏对高尔夫球运动中按接触时间计算的受伤情况的综合分析。因此，我们的目的是报告高尔夫球运动损伤的综合发生率：我们在 2024 年 3 月对 PubMed、Scopus、SPORTDiscus 和 Web of Science 数据库进行了检索，以开展本系统综述和荟萃分析。我们纳入了报告每次暴露时间内受伤次数的观察性研究。我们采用随机效应模型计算了每 1000 名运动员暴露（18 洞高尔夫球）的受伤发生率，并得出了 95% 的置信区间 (CI)。分别分析了男性、女性、业余运动员、专业运动员和特殊运动员的受伤发生率：共筛选了 999 项研究，对 29 篇全文进行了评估，并纳入了 7 项研究，涉及 269 754 名运动员。7 项研究评估了受伤的总体发生率，汇总的估计值为每 1000 名运动员中有 2.5 人受伤（CI 0.9-7.5）。特殊运动员的受伤率（21.0，CI 7.7-45.1；一项研究）高于专业运动员（8.5，CI 7.6-9.4；一项研究）或业余运动员（1.3，CI 0.5-4.0；五项研究）。女性运动员的受伤发生率为每 1000 名运动员 2.6 例（CI 0.7-9.6；4 项研究），男性运动员为每 1000 名运动员 1.4 例（CI 0.4-5.2；3 项研究）。在不包括特殊运动员的敏感性分析中，发病率为 1.9（CI 0.7-4.9；6 项研究）：结论：高尔夫运动中的受伤发生率为每 1000 名运动员中 2.5 例（18 洞高尔夫）。报告的内容有限，只有一项研究报告了职业运动员每次暴露时间的受伤情况，总共只发现了七项研究。需要对所有级别和年龄组进行更多研究，以更好地估计高尔夫运动中的受伤发生率和相关风险因素。

期刊介绍： The Irish Journal of Medical Science is the official organ of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. Established in 1832, this quarterly journal is a contribution to medical science and an ideal forum for the younger medical/scientific professional to enter world literature and an ideal launching platform now, as in the past, for many a young research worker. The primary role of both the Academy and IJMS is that of providing a forum for the exchange of scientific information and to promote academic discussion, so essential to scientific progress.
