Table 2 Frequency distribution of injury severity as measured by time loss from play (days of absence) due to injuries and injury rate per 1000 match-hours of exposure (IIRMHE)
Time loss from play | N (%) | IIRMHE (95 % CI) |
|---|---|---|
Less than one-week | ||
Slight (0–1 day) | 55 (42.6 %) | 22.3 (16.8–29.1) |
Minimal (2–3 days) | 4 (3.1 %) | 1.6 (0.4–4.2) |
Mild (4–7 days) | 23 (17.8 %) | 9.3 (5.9–14.0) |
Greater than one-week | ||
Moderate (8–28 days) | 26 (20.2 %) | 10.6 (6.9–15.5) |
Severe (>28 days) | 20 (15.5 %) | 8.1 (5.0–12.5) |
