The Austrian Ski Team consists of four groups: Team National (n=477), Team A (n=444), Team B (n=696) and Team C (n=608). Team National and Team A comprised World Cup, Team B European Cup and Team C junior alpine ski racers. Simple and multiple Poisson regressions were calculated.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The SIE incidence was 15.7 (95% CI 14.2 to 17.5) per 100 skier seasons. ACL injury events accounted for 70.8% of severe knee injury events and 48.6% of SIE. The incidence of severe ACL injury events was 7.6 (95% CI 6.6 to 8.9). Female World Cup alpine ski racers had a 1.65 times (95% CI 1.02 to 2.69) higher risk of severe ACL injury events than their male counterparts.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The incidence of acute on-snow SIE in World Cup alpine ski racing was higher than previously reported. Despite various prevention efforts, the average seasonal incidence of SIE in World and European Cup alpine ski racers has grown from approximately 11 in 1997 to 23 in 2019; thus with roughly one more injured athlete every second season.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2020-102752","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,6]],"date-time":"2020-10-06T17:21:06Z","timestamp":1602004866000},"page":"589-595","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Acute on-snow severe injury events in elite alpine ski racing from 1997 to 2019: the Injury Surveillance System of the Austrian Ski Federation"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5333-3122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Barth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Science, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria"},{"name":"Department of Business & Society, University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol\u2013FH Kufstein, Kufstein, Tyrol, Austria"},{"name":"Department of Sports Science, Saarland University, Saarbr\u00fccken, Saarland, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans-Peter","family":"Platzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Science, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anton","family":"Giger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Austrian Ski Federation, Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Werner","family":"Nachbauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Science, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Schr\u00f6cksnadel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Austrian Ski Federation, Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025080112584493000_55.11.589.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-5898(20)31166-4","article-title":"The risk of injury in experienced alpine skiers","volume":"7","author":"Margreiter","year":"1976","journal-title":"Orthop Clin North Am"},{"key":"2025080112584493000_55.11.589.2","unstructured":"Raas E .
