We analyzed head and neck injuries in organized football in 7\u2010 to 12\u2010year\u2010old children. Data for this analysis were obtained from a prospective cohort study over two consecutive football seasons in two European countries, and a randomized intervention trial over one season in four European countries. Football exposure and injuries were documented through an online database. Detailed information regarding injury characteristics and medical follow\u2010up was retrieved from coaches, children and parents by phone. Thirty\u2010nine head injuries and one neck injury (5% of all 791 injuries) were documented during 9933 player\u2010seasons (total football exposure 688\u00a0045 hours). The incidence was 0.25 [95%<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content> 0.15, 0.35] head\/neck injuries per 1000 match hours (N=23 match injuries) and 0.03 [95%<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content> 0.02, 0.03] per 1000 training hours. Eleven concussions (27.5%), nine head contusions (22.5%), eight lacerations or abrasions (20%), two nose fractures (2.5%), and two dental injuries (2.5%) occurred. The remaining eight injuries were nose bleeding or other minor injuries. Thirty injuries (75%) resulted from contact with another player, and ten injuries were due to collision with an object, falling or a hit by the ball. Whereas 70% of all head injuries (N=28) were due to frontal impacts, 73% of concussions (N=8) resulted from an impact to the occiput. The incidence and severity of head injuries in children\u2032s football are low. Coaches and parents, however, should be sensitized regarding the potential of concussions, particularly after an impact to the occiput.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/sms.12839","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,5]],"date-time":"2017-01-05T02:47:18Z","timestamp":1483584438000},"page":"1986-1992","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Head injuries in children\u2032s football\u2014results from two prospective cohort studies in four European countries"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"O.","family":"Faude","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Exercise and Health University of Basel  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"R\u00f6ssler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Exercise and Health University of Basel  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Junge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical School Hamburg  Hamburg Germany"},{"name":"Swiss Concussion Center (SCC) and Schulthess Clinic  Zurich Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"aus der F\u00fcnten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sports and Preventive Medicine Saarland University FIFA\u2014Medical Centre of Excellence  Saarbr\u00fccken Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Chomiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics 1<sup>st<\/sup> Faculty of Medicine of Charles University and Hospital Na Bulovce FIFA\u2014Medical Centre of Excellence  Prague Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Verhagen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public and Occupational Health EMGO Institute for Health and Care Research VU University Medical Center  Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Beaudouin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sports and Preventive Medicine Saarland University FIFA\u2014Medical Centre of Excellence  Saarbr\u00fccken Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Dvorak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swiss Concussion Center (SCC) and Schulthess Clinic  Zurich Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Feddermann\u2010Demont","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swiss Concussion Center (SCC) and Schulthess Clinic  Zurich Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Neurology Interdisciplinary Center for Vertigo and Neurological Visual Disorders University Hospital &amp; University of Zurich  Zurich Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.33.2.110"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapediatrics.2015.1062"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2005.018937"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2011.10.032"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/NEU.0b013e31823021b2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0b013e3182094340"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546506294060"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000085395"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02640414.2014.918273"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2013.06.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2013-092255"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2013-092256"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2013-092313"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","unstructured":"FIFA Communications Division.FIFA Big Count 2006: 270 million people active in football.
