This study examined preparticipation examination findings among 2954 American athletes, revealing that female athletes reported more symptoms but had lower prevalence of abnormal electrocardiogram, while college and older athletes reported fewer symptoms and had no difference in abnormal ECG prevalence compared to novice and younger athletes. Despite differences between groups, the prevalence of clinically important findings was similar.
Objective: To describe the preparticipation examination findings among American athletes by sex, participation level, and age. Design: Hypothesis-generating retrospective cohort study. Setting: Saint-Luke's Athletic Heart Center, Kansas City, Missouri. Participants: A total of 2954 student athletes. Interventions: Athletes underwent preparticipation examination, which included history and physical, electrocardiogram, and 2-D transthoracic echocardiogram. Main Outcome Measures: Differences noted on screening preparticipation examination by sex, participation level, and age. Results: Female athletes reported more symptoms than male athletes (odds ratio [OR] = 1.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.32-1.97; P < 0.0001) but had lower prevalence of abnormal electrocardiogram (OR 0.52; CI, 0.39-0.68; P < 0.0001). College athletes reported fewer symptoms than novice athletes (OR 0.35; CI, 0.29-0.43; P < 0.0001) with no difference in the prevalence of abnormal electrocardiography (ECG) (OR 0.96; CI, 0.73-1.26; P = 0.78). Older athletes reported fewer symptoms than younger athletes (OR 0.61; CI, 0.52-0.71; P < 0.0001) with no difference in the prevalence of abnormal ECG (OR 1.00; CI, 0.81-1.23; P = 0.89). There were 43 athletes with clinically important findings with no difference in prevalence of these findings across sex, participation level, and age. Conclusions: Among this American cohort of athletes, male athletes reported fewer symptoms and had higher prevalence of abnormal ECG findings compared with female athletes. College and older athletes reported fewer symptoms and had no difference in prevalence of abnormal ECG findings compared with novice and younger athletes, respectively. Despite these differences between groups, the prevalence of clinically important findings was comparable among groups.
