研究显示，儿童头部受伤案例中，骑自行车比打橄榄球的比例大

More Kiwi and Australian children suffered serious head injuries in recreational activities, like horse riding, skateboarding and bike riding, than in contact sports like rugby, a new study has found.

一项新研究发现，新西兰和澳大利亚儿童在骑马、滑板和骑自行车等娱乐活动中头部受重伤的比例高于橄榄球等接触性运动。

Research, which will be published in the Australian Medical Journal, examined 8857 children who suffered head injuries and were treated at 10 emergency departments in Australian and New Zealand hospitals.

这项研究将发表在《澳大利亚医学杂志》上，对8857名头部受伤的儿童进行了调查，这些儿童在澳大利亚和新西兰的10家医院的急诊科接受过治疗。

A third of the children, who were aged between five and 18 years, injured themselves playing sport, the study found. Of these children, four out of five were boys.

研究发现，三分之一年龄在5至18岁之间的儿童在运动中受伤。这些孩子中，有五分之四是男孩。

The research by the PREDICT research network and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) in collaboration with the University of Auckland found that the most frequent causes of serious injury included bike riding (44 per cent), skateboarding (18 per cent), horse riding (16 per cent), with AFL and rugby resulting in one serious head injury each and soccer resulting in none.

预测研究网络和默多克儿童研究所(MCRI)与奥克兰大学合作开展的这项研究发现，造成严重伤害的最常见原因包括骑自行车(44%)、玩滑板(18%)、骑马(16%)，以及l和橄榄球造成严重的头部受伤，足球则没有。

MCRI’s professor Franz Babl, who was the lead research author, said they looked at ‘íntracranial’ injuries in children because, while there is a lot of interest about sport and concussion, less is understood about the severity of head injuries children suffer while playing sport.

Mcri的教授Franz Babl是研究的主要作者，他说他们研究了儿童的“颅内”损伤，因为尽管人们对运动和脑震荡很感兴趣，但人们对儿童在运动时头部损伤的严重程度却知之甚少。

There were 524 patients with sports-related head injuries (16 per cent) who needed CT imaging, and 14 children required surgery.

有524名与运动有关的头部损伤患者(16%)需要进行CT成像，14名儿童需要手术。

"The study found that in children who presented to the emergency departments after head injury and participated in recreational sports like horse riding, skate boarding and bike riding were more likely to sustain serious head injuries than children who played contact sport like AFL, rugby, soccer or basketball," he said.

他说:“研究发现，在头部受伤后到急诊室就诊、参加骑马、滑板和自行车等休闲运动的儿童中，头部严重受伤的可能性比参加AFL、橄榄球、足球或篮球等身体接触运动的儿童更大。”

Research found that 45 of the 3177 sports-related head injuries were serious and classified as clinically important traumatic brain injury, meaning the patient required either neuro-surgery, at least two nights in hospital and/or being placed on a breathing machine. One child died as a result of head injuries.

研究发现，在3177例与运动相关的头部损伤中，有45例是严重的，并被归为临床重要的创伤性脑损伤，这意味着患者需要进行神经外科手术，至少在医院住两晚，或者接受呼吸机的治疗。一名儿童死于头部受伤。

Sports which resulted in the most frequent reason for presentation to emergency departments included bike riding (16 per cent), rugby (13 per cent), AFL (10 per cent), other football (9 per cent), and soccer (8 per cent).

向急诊科报告的运动项目中，最常见的包括骑自行车(16%)、橄榄球(13%)、AFL(10%)、其他足球(9%)和足球(8%)。
