摘要
目的:在10年的时间框架内,本研究旨在评估青少年跑步者在一家专门从事跑步医学的诊所寻求跑步相关损伤(RRIs)护理的诊断、治疗和转诊趋势。方法:本研究是对2011年至2021年间寻求RRIs治疗的392名青少年跑步者(2326次接触)的回顾性图表回顾。描述性统计用于总结临床评估、转诊、辅助装置、处方或管理的药物总体和损伤类型。卡方分析用于比较10年时间框架内提供的服务的比例。结果:患者在门诊就诊时最常接受人工评估或特殊检查。大多数就诊至少有一次转诊(91%),主要是物理治疗或步态训练。只有18%的患者就诊时提供了辅助设备和药物/补充剂。大多数评估(X2 = 69.7, p = 0.002)、治疗(X2: 23.6-43.8, p: < 0.001-0.003)和转诊(X2 = 132, p < 0.001)以胫骨损伤为主。更大比例的营养评估(X2 = 40.7, p < 0.001)、干预(X2 = 26.8, p = 0.003)和转诊(X2 = 27.5, p = 0.002)在2015年或之后进行。结论:胫骨损伤的临床就诊需要最多的临床资源。观察到临床评估和治疗方法的转变,包括更多的营养和生理方面的考虑。
Clinical assessment, treatment, and referral trends for adolescent runners seeking care at an injured runners' clinic.
Purpose: Over a 10-year time frame, this study aimed to evaluate diagnosis, treatment, and referral trends for adolescent runners seeking care for running-related injuries (RRIs) at a clinic that specializes in running medicine.
Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review of 392 adolescent runners (2,326 encounters) who sought care for RRIs between the years 2011 and 2021. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize clinical assessments, referrals, assistive devices, and medications prescribed or administered overall and by injury type. Chi-square analyses were used to compare proportions of services rendered across the 10-year time frame.
Results: Patients most frequently received manual evaluations or special tests during clinic visits. Most visits resulted in at least one referral (91%), primarily for physical therapy or gait-training. Assistive devices and medications/supplements were offered at only 18% of patient visits. The majority of assessments (X2 = 69.7, p = 0.002), treatments (X2: 23.6-43.8, p: < 0.001-0.003), and referrals (X2 = 132, p < 0.001) were for shin injuries. Larger proportions of nutrition assessments (X2 = 40.7, p < 0.001), interventions (X2 = 26.8, p = 0.003), and referrals (X2 = 27.5, p = 0.002) were performed in or after the year 2015.
Conclusion: Clinic visits for shin injuries required the most clinical resources per episode of care. There were observed shifts in clinical assessment and treatment approaches to include more expanded nutritional and physiologic considerations.
