國際奧林匹克委員會發表「2020年運動傷害與疾病流行病學資料蒐集與報告方法的共識聲明」(以下簡稱共識聲明),目標為促進國際間運動傷害與疾病流行病學研究方法與定義之一致性,瞭解傷害與疾病趨勢與成因,建構守護運動員健康策略,並推出「加強運動傷害與疾病監控觀察性流行病學研究報告核對清單」(以下簡稱核對清單),定義數據蒐集與研究報告七大要素。本研究以共識聲明與核對清單,檢視2000~2021年間臺灣運動流行病學研究內容,涵蓋資料蒐集與報告方法,目的為:一、分析納入研究之七大要素資訊與報告完整度;二、檢視納入研究之研究方法,並分析潛在挑戰。共收錄40篇研究,結果發現過去研究工具與方法多為缺乏運動曝光資訊的自陳式問卷,且並非由健康照護專業人員負責數據報告,難以提供具有臨床意義的運動流行病學數據。根本原因為臺灣尚無可長時間監控記錄且使用者友善的運動傷害監測系統,建議納入未來國家運科發展之要務。有效的運動傷害與疾病預防需以高品質流行病學數據為依據,本研究建議由隨隊健康照護專業人員負責數據報告,確保健康問題數據的正確性,並將數據庫公開,鼓勵研究者依照國際奧林匹克委員會建議方式分析解讀,提供為運動防護實證指引。
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has released the "IOC Consensus Statement: Methods for recording and reporting of epidemiological data on injury and illness in sport 2020" to promote consistent methodology and definitions in sports injury and illness epidemiology and to understand patterns and causes for athlete wellbeing. The Consensus Statment suggests that seven elements should be included in the data collection and research reports, and launches a "Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Checklist Extension for Sport Injury and Illness Surveillance" (hereinafter referred to as the Checklist). This study analyzes sports-related injury and illness epidemiology research in Taiwan from 2000 to 2021 based on the Consensus Statement and Checklist. The study encompasses data collection and reporting methods, with the following objectives: (a) to analyze the inclusion of the seven elements in the research and assess the completeness of reporting; and (b) to review the research methods used in the included studies and analyze potential challenges. A total of 40 studies were included, and the results revealed that previous research mostly used self-reported questionnaires without sports exposure information, and were not reported by healthcare professionals, hindering the provision of clinically meaningful sports epidemiological data. The primary issue in Taiwan is the absence of the user-friendly sports injury surveillance system for long-term data collection, which should be a top priority in the development of national sports science. Effective prevention of sports injuries and illnesses relies on high-quality sports epidemiology data, reported by trained healthcare providers on-site for accurate health data. Making the database public would encourage researchers to analyze the data according to the IOC's recommendations, leading to evidence-based guidelines for sports injury prevention.
