20.500.12556/DiRROS-24724 Injuries and illnesses during the 54th FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2023 in Planica a prospective cohort study Objective: To describe the incidence and characteristics of injuries and illnesses that occurred during the 54th Nordic World Ski Championships in Planica (Slovenia) 2023, including the disciplines of cross-country skiing, Nordic combined and ski jumping. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, national medical teams and the medical team of the local organiser collected data on a daily basis on all new, exacerbated or recurrent injuries and illnesses of the registered athletes using the IOC consensus recommendations. Results: There were 596 registered athletes (250 women, 346 men), all with access to medical services. The national medical teams covered 347 (58.2%) athletes with a response rate of 77.1%. A total of 24 injuries, corresponding to an incidence rate of 4.0 per 100 athletes (95% CI, 2.5 to 5.6), and 15 illnesses, corresponding to an incidence rate of 2.5 per 100 athletes (95% CI, 1.3 to 3.8), were reported. The lower extremities were the most common injury location (58.3%), and every second injury in this category was a knee injury. The predominant injury types were joint sprains/ligament tears (25.0%) and contusions/bruises (25.0%). A total of three concussions (12.5% of all injuries) were reported, all of them in ski jumping. Among the illnesses, infections (73.3%) were the most common aetiology, and the respiratory system (53.3%) was the most frequently affected organ system. Conclusion: Special attention should be given to knee injuries in all disciplines and concussions in ski jumping. A high proportion of the recorded illnesses were of infectious origin. The reduction in hygiene regulations after the COVID-19 pandemic could have contributed to this. surveillance cross-country skiing ski jumping injuries illnesses nadzor tek na smučeh smučarski skoki poškodbe bolezni true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-12-15 13:51:21 2025-12-15 13:51:22 2025-12-16 03:44:30 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 17. 11. 2025; str. 1-1 issue 2, [article no.] e002156 Vol. 11 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616:796.9 2055-7647 10.1136/bmjsem-2024-002156 257413891 RAZ_Kastner_Tom_2025.pdf RAZ_Kastner_Tom_2025.pdf 1 CA5F7366EF9A5ECE8A5D0191B8792DF1 39bd2bcc64c79a4b8fbe019e6b34edd277476bcc8ffbac85a7b369cb9940bef9 f56382a1-d9b4-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=36936 https://bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/11/2/e002156 0 ffb7257e-d9b4-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=36937 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
