The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review, previously registered with PROSPERO, to identify the prevalence, incidence, and the injury pattern among Irish dancers and analyse the associated risk factors. Six online databases and two dance-specific science publications were searched systematically. Studies were included if the patterns of injuries among Irish dancers were evaluated or the factors associated with injury were analysed, published in English or Portuguese, in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Four reviewers assessed the quality and level of evidence using the Downs and Black criteria and a modified Oxford Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine 2009 model, respectively. Eleven articles were included, eight of Level 3c (cross-sectional) and three of Level 3b (prospective). Mean DB percentage score was 63% \u00b1 7.2%. Prevalence ranged from 72.2% to 92.6%, affecting mostly the foot\/ankle complex. Only two articles reported incidence, which ranged from 3.4 to 10.6 injuries\/1000 h danced depending on injury definition. Psychological factors, elite level, and insufficient\/poor sleep were associated with musculoskeletal injury. Injury prevalence and incidence is high in Irish dancers, with the foot and ankle being more affected. Due to heterogeneity in injury definitions, methods, and populations, along with the need for improvement in studies quality, recommendations were made for future research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20126190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,21]],"date-time":"2023-06-21T02:30:51Z","timestamp":1687314651000},"page":"6190","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Irish Dancing Injuries and Associated Risk Factors: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3821-4706","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Rita","family":"P\u00f3voa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz School of Health and Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9152-5643","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cl\u00e1udia Maria","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Garcia de Orta, 2805-267 Almada, Portugal"},{"name":"CiiEM\u2014Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Interdisciplinar Egas Moniz, 2829-511 Caparica, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S\u00e9rgio","family":"Sim\u00f5es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz School of Health and Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Morais","family":"Azevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, La Trobe University, Melbourne 3086, Australia"},{"name":"The Australian Ballet, Melbourne 3006, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9750-0527","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raul","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre for the Study of Human Performance, Neuromuscular Research Lab, Human Kinetics Faculty, University of Lisbon, 1499-002 Cruz Quebrada-Dafundo, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.2307\/1478855","article-title":"Perceptions of Irish Step Dance: National, Global, and Local","volume":"33","author":"Foley","year":"2001","journal-title":"Danc.
