Observational study reports no findings correlating daily snowfall with ski and snowboard injury severity.
Observational
No
Lack of reported results yields no clinical insights on snowfall and ski injuries; leaves open the correlation for prospective study.
There were more than 50 million skiing and snowboarding injuries during the 2011 winter season; however, there remains a lack of data correlating injury severity with environmental factors and mechanism of injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate correlations between injury severity, injury mechanism, and daily snowfall among skiers and snowboarders. The investigation was a single center, retrospective, observational study performed at Vail Valley Medical Center, a level III trauma facility.
