Three definitions of RTS were created: return to preinjury sport and level, return to any high-risk sport at any level, and return to any sport at any level. Return rates were reported for the overall sample, and separately for male and female athletes.

Male athletes reported consistently higher RTS rates than female athletes. In the final model predicting return to high-risk sport, female athletes had 53% lower odds of returning to high-risk sports compared with male athletes (odds ratio [OR], 0.47; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.76;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.01).
