BACKGROUND: An increase in soccer-related @entity130 occurred in the United States between 2000 and 2012; however, most studies of soccer-related @entity130 have only examined the pediatric population and not adults. HYPOTHESIS: The number of soccer @entity130 is increasing in both the pediatric and adult populations. There are differences in @entity130 and counts when comparing male and female players within various age groups. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiology study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4. METHODS: This retrospective analysis surveyed the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database from 2000 to 2012 for soccer-related @entity130 in @entity1 and adults aged 5 to 49 years. RESULTS: From 2000 to 2012, there were an estimated 2,472,066 soccer-related @entity130 among 5- to 49-year-olds; 629,994 (25.5%) in adults (aged 20-49 years). The overall estimated pediatric @entity130 increased significantly over the time period (R (2) = 0.764, P < 0.001). In the 20- to 49-year age range, there was also a significant increase in the estimated number of @entity130 over the 13-year period, from 41,292 @entity130 in 2000 to 55,743 in 2012 (R (2) = 0.719, P < 0.001). The @entity130 counts for male players were significantly higher than female players in any given year for all age groups (P < 0.001). @entity1 aged 5 to 19 years were more likely to have lower extremity @entity130 than @entity1 (odds ratio [OR], 1.256; 95% CI, 1.214-1.299; P < 0.001). The most common @entity130 reported were strain/sprains (33.3%), @entity174 (23.7%), and contusions and abrasions (17.4%) within the 5- to 49-year age category. In both sexes, strains and sprains were significantly lower among 5- to 19-year-olds in comparison with 20- to 49-year-olds (OR, 0.740; 95% CI, 0.714-0.766; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: There are age- and sex-related differences in @entity130 count, body part injured, @entity130 , and hospital admissions for soccer. Also, @entity130 count increased over the 2000 to 2012 time period. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study demonstrates that there are differences between pediatric and adult @entity130 , based on sex, body part, @entity130 , and hospital admissions.
