Jockey injuries are common in professional horse-racing and can result in life-threatening or career-ending outcomes. Robust injury data are essential to understand the circumstances of injury occurrence and ultimately identify prevention opportunities. This study aimed to identify jockey injury surveillance practices of international horse-racing authorities (HRAs) and the specific data items collected and reported by each HRA. A cross-sectional survey of representatives (e.g. Chief Medical Officer) from international HRAs was conducted. An online and paper questionnaire was designed comprised of 32 questions. Questions considered the barriers and facilitators to data collection within each HRA, and where available, what data were …

Injury and illness surveillance, and epidemiological studies, are fundamental elements of concerted efforts to protect the health of the athlete. To encourage consistency in the definitions and methodology used, and to enable data across studies to be compared, research groups have published 11 sport-specific or setting-specific consensus statements on sports injury (and, eventually, illness) epidemiology to date. Our objective was to further strengthen consistency in data collection, injury definitions and research reporting through an updated set of recommendations for sports injury and illness studies, including a new Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist extension. The IOC …
A 2-Year Prospective Study Of Injury Epidemiology In Elite Australian Rugby Sevens: Exploration Of Incidence Rates, Severity, Injury Type, And Subsequent Injury In Men And Women, Liam A. Toohey, Michael K. Drew, Caroline F. Finch, Jill L. Cook, Lauren V. Fortington
A 2-Year Prospective Study Of Injury Epidemiology In Elite Australian Rugby Sevens: Exploration Of Incidence Rates, Severity, Injury Type, And Subsequent Injury In Men And Women, Liam A. Toohey, Michael K. Drew, Caroline F. Finch, Jill L. Cook, Lauren V. Fortington
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Background:
Injuries are common in rugby sevens, but studies to date have been limited to short, noncontinuous periods and reporting of match injuries only.
Purpose:
To report the injury incidence rate (IIR), severity, and burden of injuries sustained by men and women in the Australian rugby sevens program and to provide the first longitudinal investigation of subsequent injury occurrence in rugby sevens looking beyond tournament injuries only.
Study design:
Descriptive epidemiology study.
Methods:
Ninety international rugby sevens players (55 men and 35 women) were prospectively followed over 2 consecutive seasons (2015-2016 and 2016-2017). All medical attention injuries were reported irrespective …
Comparison Of Subsequent Injury Categorisation (Sic) Models And Their Application In A Sporting Population, Liam A. Toohey, Michael K. Drew, Lauren V. Fortington, Miranda J. Menaspa, Caroline F. Finch, Jill L. Cook
Comparison Of Subsequent Injury Categorisation (Sic) Models And Their Application In A Sporting Population, Liam A. Toohey, Michael K. Drew, Lauren V. Fortington, Miranda J. Menaspa, Caroline F. Finch, Jill L. Cook
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Background: The original subsequent injury categorisation (SIC-1.0) model aimed to classify relationships between chronological injury sequences to provide insight into the complexity and causation of subsequent injury occurrence. An updated model has recently been published. Comparison of the data coded according to the original and revised subsequent injury categorisation (SIC-1.0 and SIC-2.0) models has yet been formally compared.
Methods: Medical attention injury data was prospectively collected for 42 elite water polo players over an 8 month surveillance period. The SIC-1.0 and SIC-2.0 models were retrospectively applied to the injury data. The injury categorisation from the two models was compared using …
The Burden Of Hospitalized Sports-Related Injuries In Children: An Australian Population-Based Study, 2005–2013, Francisco J. Schneuer, Jane C. Bell, Susan E. Adams, Julie Brown, Caroline Finch, Natasha Nassar

Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Background
There is concern about recent increase and severity of sports-related injuries in children. Despite the benefits of sports participation, injuries may carry long-term health consequences. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence, characteristics and types of hospitalized sports-related injuries in children.
Methods
Population-based study of all acute sports-related injuries requiring hospitalization in children 5 to 15 years of age in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, 2005–2013. Health information was obtained from the NSW Admitted Patient Data Collection, a census of all hospital admissions from public and private hospitals. Children with a recorded ICD10-AM injury code (S00-T79) and sport-related activity code …
