Abstract

Background: Previous research shows that injuries are prevalent in ladies Gaelic football. However, little is known about how these injuries occur (ie, the mechanism of injury). In addition, there are limited data on injuries sustained during elite-level matches. Concussions are also a key concern, yet research has examined solely self-reported suspected concussions, and it remains unclear how potential concussions are identified and managed during matches.

Objective: To establish the incidence, characteristics, and management of suspected injuries and concussions in elite ladies Gaelic football matches.

Design: Cross-sectional video analysis study.

Level of evidence: Level 3.

Methods: A video coding framework was developed based on similar published studies and validated by 5 Gaelic football-specific raters. One research assistant coded all matches from the 2022 season, and an experienced referee also reviewed foul play events.

Results: There were 829 suspected injuries (suspected injury rate [IR], 229.0 per 1000 hours; 95% CI, 214.0-245.2; 6.9 suspected injuries per match) and 162 suspected concussions (IR, 44.8 per 1000 hours; 95% CI, 38.4-52.2; 1.4 per match) recorded in 120 matches. Most suspected injuries received onfield medical attention (84.0%); however, just 13.6% of suspected concussions were removed from play. The tackle accounted for the most suspected injuries (40.2%), player-to-player contact (68.2%) was the most common mechanism, and the head/neck (38.1%) was the body location injured most frequently. Foul play concerned 53.2% of suspected injuries, with 76.7% of fouls concerning the tackle.

Conclusion: The nonremoval of suspected concussions and the frequency of tackle-related suspected injuries and foul play warrants attention.

Clinical relevance: Developing and implementing injury prevention programs, concussion management strategies, and education for all knowledge users may contribute to a safer playing environment.

精英女子盖尔足球比赛中疑似损伤和疑似脑震荡的视频分析。

背景：以前的研究表明，受伤是普遍的女子盖尔足球。然而，对这些损伤是如何发生的（即损伤的机制）知之甚少。此外，关于精英级别比赛中受伤的数据也很有限。脑震荡也是一个关键问题，然而研究只检查了自我报告的疑似脑震荡，目前尚不清楚在比赛中如何识别和处理潜在的脑震荡。目的：了解精英女子盖尔足球比赛中疑似损伤和脑震荡的发生率、特点及处理方法。设计：横断面视频分析研究。证据等级：三级。方法：基于类似的已发表研究开发了视频编码框架，并由5名盖尔足球特定评分者验证。一名研究助理对2022赛季的所有比赛进行了编码，一名经验丰富的裁判也对犯规事件进行了审查。结果：120场比赛共发生疑似损伤829例（疑似损伤率[IR]， 229.0例/ 1000 h； 95% CI, 214.0 ~ 245.2； 6.9例/场），疑似脑震荡162例（IR， 44.8例/ 1000 h； 95% CI, 38.4 ~ 52.2； 1.4例/场）。大多数疑似受伤得到了现场医疗救治（84.0%）；然而，只有13.6%的疑似脑震荡患者退出比赛。铲球是最常见的受伤方式（40.2%），球员间接触是最常见的受伤方式（68.2%），头颈部是最常见的受伤部位（38.1%）。犯规涉及53.2%的疑似受伤，其中76.7%的犯规涉及铲球。结论：不切除疑似脑震荡和铲球相关的疑似损伤和犯规的频率值得关注。临床相关性：制定和实施伤害预防计划，脑震荡管理策略，以及对所有知识使用者的教育可能有助于建立一个更安全的游戏环境。
