Abstract

Purpose: Several published policy statements have warned against the risks associated with trampoline use and recommended safety guidelines. However, few studies have focused on trampoline-related injuries in Korea. This study aimed to assess the incidence and characteristics of pediatric trampoline-related injuries presented to Ulsan University Hospital.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of children aged <16 years with trampoline-related injuries who visited our Emergency Department between 2008 and 2017.

Results: Over the 10-year period, 178 trampoline-related injuries were reported, which represented a significant increase (P=0.016). Most (87.6%) of the injuries occurred during the last 5 study years, and a rapid increase in injuries was observed in children aged <6 years. Lower extremity injuries (62.4%) were the most common, followed by injuries of the upper extremities, head and face, and trunk, including injuries to the neck and spine. Sixty-seven children (37.6%) had fractures, and proximal tibia fractures were the most common. Fractures were significantly more common in younger children (<6 years old) than in older children (P=0.026).

Conclusion: In Korea, the mechanism of trampoline injury is similar to that of injuries incurred in indoor trampoline parks but is characterized by smaller spaces and multiple users. Trampoline use and the incidence of trampoline-related injuries in children aged <6 years are increasing rapidly. Prohibiting the use of trampolines for children aged <6 years, restricting simultaneous use by multiple children, and ensuring adult supervision should be strictly emphasized. Public awareness and policy guidelines are needed to reduce the incidence of trampoline-related injuries.

韩国快速增长的儿童蹦床相关损伤:一项10年单中心回顾性研究。
目的:一些已发表的政策声明警告了使用蹦床的风险,并推荐了安全指南。但是,国内很少有关于蹦床相关伤害的研究。本研究旨在评估蔚山大学医院儿童蹦床相关损伤的发生率和特征。结果:10年间,共报告蹦床相关损伤178例,较上年同期显著增加(P=0.016)。大多数(87.6%)的损伤发生在最近5年的研究中,并且在儿童年龄段的损伤中观察到快速增长。结论:在韩国,蹦床损伤的机制与室内蹦床公园的损伤相似,但其特点是空间较小,使用者多。老年儿童蹦床使用及蹦床相关损伤发生率
