Mueller, Frederick O.
Journal of Athletic Training, v36 n3 p312-15 Jul-Sep 2001
Describes the incidence of catastrophic head injuries within high school and college sports. Data from a national surveillance system indicated that a football-related fatality occurred every year except one from 1945-99, mainly related to head injuries. From 1984-99, 69 football head-related injuries resulted in permanent disability. Deaths and permanent disability injuries also occurred in other sports. (SM)
