标题：At-a-Glance – Emergency department surveillance of injuries and head injuries associated with baseball, football, soccer and ice hockey, children and youth, ages 5 to 18 years, 2004 to 2014
摘要：Team sports are a popular recreational activity for Canadian youth. Figure 1 provides an eleven-year snapshot (2004 to 2014) of the number and proportion (per 100 000) of all injuries, as well as the number of head injuries, for children and youth aged 5 to 18 years participating in any of four key team sports: baseball, football, soccer and ice hockey. Data collected from the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP), Footnote 1 an injury and poisoning surveillance system managed by the Public Health Agency of Canada, were used to create the figure (tables available upon request). CHIRPP currently operates in 11 pediatric and 6 general hospitals across Canada using an online data-entry system. The system is dynamic and is updated daily with new cases/information. CHIRPP does not capture all injuries in Canada, only those presenting to the participating emergency departments. However, a number of studies have indicated that the patterns are representative of the Canadian experience in certain contexts. Footnote 2 , Footnote 3 Any cases considered non-relevant or containing errors were removed for this analysis.
