A significantly (\u03c72<\/jats:sup>test 21.7, df = 1, p<0.001) higher proportion of current players (90%) undertook (non-rugby) sporting activities compared with ex-players (78%). Few ex-players undertook coaching (12%) and refereeing (2%). Only 22 (9%) men reported significant negative effects to employment, family life, and health up to mid-1998 from injuries that occurred during the 1993\u20131994 season, although the impact on their lifestyle had been substantial in some cases.<\/jats:p>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\u2014With the recent increase in the incidence of dislocation, strain, and sprain injuries in rugby football, the findings of this follow up could have a great impact on the game in the future. Although this survey has shown that, so far, only a small proportion of players suffer significant effects of rugby injuries, four years is not long enough to assess the long term effects. This cohort of rugby players need to be followed up for at least a further 20 years to determine whether there is a higher incidence of subsequent degenerative joint disease or other long term sequelae to injuries sustained while playing rugby.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.35.1.38","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T10:32:32Z","timestamp":1027765952000},"page":"38-42","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Influence of rugby injuries on players' subsequent health and lifestyle: beginning a long term follow up"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"A J","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"W M","family":"Garraway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"W","family":"Hepburn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Laidlaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051400361954000_35.1.38.1","unstructured":"Report of the Royal College of Physicians.
