  • Description: [...]as noted by Fortington et al,28 fatalities are typically not captured in sports injury/illness surveillance studies. The fact that there were no deaths in the study sample used in figure 1 does not mean that efforts to prevent sudden cardiac death in football, such as emergency preparations, supply of automated external defibrillators and resuscitation training, should be abandoned.29 Also, although using the number of days of time loss from sports as a measure of severity seems to be the default option in the sports setting,9 this approach has several limitations, of which we will highlight two. The same is the case for many illnesses, such as the common cold. [...]many health problems do not lead to time loss from sport and are therefore not recorded in standard injury surveillance systems. Each time a problem was reported, a severity score from 0 to 100 was assigned to it based on the degree of symptoms and its consequences on sports participation, training volume and performance.43 44 The relative burden of overuse injury, acute injury and illness was calculated in the various sporting teams using cumulative severity scores adjusted for the number of athletes in each team and the questionnaire response rate.29 Incidence data were calculated using the number of new cases per athlete per year.
