Epidemiology of Snow Skiing– Versus Snowboarding-Related Concussions Presenting to the Emergency Department in the United States from 2010 to 2014

Conclusions: The incidence of concussions from 2010 to 2014 plateaued in both skiers and snowboarders. Pediatric and young adult skiers and snowboarders had significantly higher incidences of concussion than the adult population. In contrast to the higher incidence of concussions in females in several sports including ice hockey, soccer, and basketball, the incidence of concussions was higher in males compared with females in both skiing and snowboarding.
