This document, the fourth arising from the 2016 event, addresses the prevention of catastrophic injury, including traumatic and non-traumatic death, in collegiate athletes. The final recommendations in this document are the result of presentations and discussions on key items that occurred at the summit. After those presentations and discussions, endorsing organisation representatives agreed on 18 foundational statements that became the basis for this consensus paper that has been subsequently reviewed by relevant stakeholders and endorsing organisations. This is the final endorsed document for preventing catastrophic injury and death in collegiate athletes. This document is divided into the following components. (1) Background\u2014this section provides an overview of catastrophic injury and death in collegiate athletes. (2) Interassociation recommendations: preventing catastrophic injury and death in collegiate athletes\u2014this section provides the final recommendations of the medical organisations for preventing catastrophic injuries in collegiate athletes. (3) Interassociation recommendations: checklist\u2014this section provides a checklist for each member school. The checklist statements stem from foundational statements voted on by representatives of medical organisations during the summit, and they serve as the primary vehicle for each member school to implement the prevention recommendations. (4) References\u2014this section provides the relevant references for this document. (5) Appendices\u2014this section lists the foundational statements, agenda, summit attendees and medical organisations that endorsed this document.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-54.085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,19]],"date-time":"2019-09-19T20:40:37Z","timestamp":1568925637000},"page":"843-851","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Preventing Catastrophic Injury and Death in Collegiate Athletes: Interassociation Recommendations Endorsed by 13 Medical and Sports Medicine Organisations"],"prefix":"10.4085","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"John T.","family":"Parsons","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport Science Institute, National Collegiate Athletic Association, Indianapolis, IN"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott A.","family":"Anderson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Athletics, University of Oklahoma, Norman"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Douglas J.","family":"Casa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kinesiology, University of Connecticut, Storrs"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Hainline","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport Science Institute, National Collegiate Athletic Association, Indianapolis, IN"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2557","reference":[{"key":"2020060411544327700_i1062-6050-54-8-843-b01","unstructured":"Yau\n              R\n            , KuceraKL, ThomasLC, et al. \n          Catastrophic sports injury research: Thirty-fifth annual report fall 1982-Spring 2017.
