Evaluating Tackling Rugby Injury: the pilot phase for monitoring injury.
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health 1999 Februrary
OBJECTIVE: To assess the suitability of two previously unused data sources for monitoring rugby injury throughout New Zealand.
METHOD: Interviews were conducted with respondents sampled from players registered with the Rugby Football Unions (RFUs) and players claiming for rugby injuries from the Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation (ACC) in Auckland and Dunedin.
RESULTS: Of the 500 RFU players sampled, 63% were interviewed and of these 39 (12%) had been injured playing rugby union. Of the 456 ACC claimants sampled, 66% were interviewed and 265 (88%) had been injured playing rugby union.
CONCLUSION: Identifying injured players through ACC claims was more efficient, both procedurally and because a smaller sample size was required to detect changes in incidence.
IMPLICATIONS: With no routine surveillance of sports injury being undertaken, recording sporting codes in national injury surveillance systems would assist the monitoring of sports injury.
