Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise Apr 27, 2018
Braun T, et al. - Authors scrutinized the annual community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) incidence, sport risk, referral practices, and management protocols or interventions among high school and intercollegiate athletics over the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years. It was observed that the CA-MRSA infection incidence was 26.8 per 10,000 athletes in 2015-2016 and 20.3 per 10,000 athletes in 2016-2017. Its incidence was found to be high in wrestling and football compared to the general student-athlete population. Findings illustrated that regardless of increased awareness of CA-MRSA, additional educational efforts targeting best practices and education were required, especially with athletes and the medical community involved in their care.
