ABSTRACT

It is very important to collect and accumulate data of same-type events from the point of view of appropriate preparedness for mass gathering medicine. On the basis of the experience of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan, the Japanese Association of Disaster Medicine organized the emergency medical assistance team during large football events. The objective was to analyze all clinical presentations available to the on-site physicians during this event. The total number of patients was 51 (patient presentation rate: 0.25/1000 spectators). Trauma, abdominal pain and common cold were the main pathologies encountered. Eight patients were transported to hospital. Forty-one patients (80.4% of total) were treated within the medical station and were not transported to hospital. These dispositions were considered to lighten the burden imposed on activities of local emergency medical services. Sharing databases with local medical services and surveying the outcome of patients are needed to allow patient presentation provision.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Past history of mass casualties related to international football games brought the importance of practical planning, preparedness, simulation training, and analysis of potential patient presentations to the forefront of emergency research. METHODS: The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare established the Health Research Team (HRT-MHLW) for the 2002 FIFA World Cup game (FIFAWC). The HRT-MHLW collected patient data related to the games and analyzed the related factors regarding patient presentations. RESULTS: A total of 1661 patients presented for evaluation and care from all 32 games in Japan. The patient presentation rate per 1000 spectators per game was 1.21 and the transport-to-hospital rate was 0.05. The step-wise regression analysis identified that the patient presentations rate increased where access was difficult. As the number of total spectators increased, the patient presentation rate decreased. (p < 0.0001, r = 0.823, r2 = 0.677). CONCLUSION: In order to develop mass-gathering medical-care plans in accordance with the types and sizes of mass gatherings, it is necessary to collect data and examine risk factors for patient presentations for a variety of events.
