Mountain bikes represent the largest segment of bike sales in the United States. Recreational mountain bike use is popular and understudied.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Purpose: To describe the scope, distribution, and trends of mountain bike\u2013related injuries treated in US emergency departments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Study Design: Descriptive epidemiologic study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted with data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission for patients aged \u22658 years from 1994 through 2007. Sample weights provided by the system were used to calculate national estimates of mountain bike\u2013related injuries based on 4624 cases. Bivariate comparisons between categorical variables were assessed with injury proportion ratios and 95% confidence intervals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Nationwide, an estimated 217 433 patients were treated for mountain bike\u2013related injuries in US emergency departments from 1994 to 2007, an average of 15 531 injuries per year. The annual number of injuries decreased 56%, from a high of 23 177 in 1995 to 10 267 in 2007 ( P &lt; .001). The most common injuries were upper extremity fractures (10.6%) and shoulder fractures (8.3%). Patients aged 14 to 19 years sustained a greater proportion of traumatic brain injuries (8.4%) than did patients aged 8 to 13 years and \u226520 years combined (4.3%). A greater proportion of female riders (6.1%) than male riders (4.5%) were hospitalized.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: Mountain bike\u2013related injuries decreased from 1994 to 2007. Upper extremity fractures were the most common injury. Girls and women may be more likely than boys and men to sustain more severe injuries requiring hospitalization. Despite the decline over the past decade, more can be done to improve safety and reduce injuries in this popular recreational activity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546510383478","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,12]],"date-time":"2010-11-12T23:17:44Z","timestamp":1289603864000},"page":"404-409","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["Mountain Biking\u2013Related Injuries Treated in Emergency Departments in the United States, 1994-2007"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Nicolas G.","family":"Nelson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Injury Research and Policy, The Research Institute at Nationwide Children\u2019s Hospital, Columbus, Ohio."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lara B.","family":"McKenzie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Injury Research and Policy, The Research Institute at Nationwide Children\u2019s Hospital, Columbus, Ohio."},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0363546510383478","volume-title":"2008 Superstudy of Sports Participation Outdoors Sports Trend Data","year":"2008"},{"key":"bibr2-0363546510383478","volume-title":"2008 Superstudy of Sports Participation","volume":"3","year":"2008"},{"key":"bibr3-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546505279917"},{"key":"bibr4-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bmb\/ldn009"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr5-0363546510383478","first-page":"145","volume":"159","author":"Chow TK","year":"1993","journal-title":"West J Med"},{"key":"bibr6-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1580\/1080-6032(2002)013[0027:MOIICO]2.0.CO;2"},{"key":"bibr7-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.108.1.e4"},{"key":"bibr8-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.219.2.r01ma42427"},{"key":"bibr9-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0901-5027(99)80135-0"},{"key":"bibr10-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-199907000-00011"},{"key":"bibr11-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001670000145"},{"key":"bibr12-0363546510383478","volume-title":"The Games of the XXXVIII Olympiad Mountain Bike Offical Results Book","author":"International Olympic Committee","year":"2000"},{"key":"bibr13-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.35.3.197"},{"key":"bibr14-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/JSM.0b013e318160c044"},{"key":"bibr15-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354659602400116"},{"key":"bibr16-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-200232080-00004"},{"key":"bibr17-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005768-199611000-00002"},{"key":"bibr18-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00042752-200205000-00003"},{"key":"bibr19-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/JSM.0b013e31815c042f"},{"key":"bibr20-0363546510383478","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-9657.2008.00660.x"},{"key":"bibr21-0363546510383478","unstructured":"National Bicycle Dealers Association. 2008: the NBDA Statpak.
