Abstract

A review of the current literature and of insurance data sources on sports injuries in Switzerland during the latest decade is presented. Epidemiological denominator data to determine the population-at-risk and the exposure time are scarce and it is therefore recommended that both the quantity and the quality of Swiss research in this field will be enhanced. It is also proposed that at least one academic institution in Switzerland would assemble systematically all available data of standard format on sports and recreational injuries to ensure a continuous analysis of these data.
