Mashup Score: 56Epidemiology of musculoskeletal injury in professional and amateur golfers: a systematic review and meta-analysis - 1 month(s) ago
Objective To determine the prevalence and incidence of musculoskeletal injury in amateur and professional golfers, and to identify common injury sites and factors associated with increased injury frequency. Design Systematic epidemiological review and meta-analysis. Data sources PubMed (Medline), Embase, the Cochrane Library and SPORTDiscus were searched in September 2023. Eligibility criteria Studies published in the English language reporting the incidence or prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in golfers at all anatomical sites. Results 20 studies (9221 golfers, 71.9% male, 28.1% female) were included, with mean age 46.8 years. Lifetime injury prevalence was significantly greater in professional golfers (73.5% (95% CI: 47.3% to 93.0%)) than amateur golfers (56.6% (95% CI: 47.4% to 65.5%); relative risk (RR)=1.50, p<0.001). Professional golfers had a significantly greater lifetime prevalence of hand and wrist (RR=3.33, p<0.001) and lower back injury (RR=3.05, p<0.001). Soft tissue

Mashup Score: 0
Objectives Very few studies and limited information are available regarding the mechanism of fibrosis in tuberculosis (TB). This study aimed to identify, describe and synthesise potential biomarkers of the development of tissue fibrosis induced by TB through a systematic method and meta-analysis. Methods A literature search was performed using keywords according to the topic from electronic databases (ScienceDirect and PubMed) and other methods (websites, organisations and citations). Studies that matched predetermined eligibility criteria were included. The quality assessment tool used was the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Score 2, and the data obtained were processed using Review Manager V.5.3. Results Of the 305 studies, 7 met the eligibility criteria with a total sample of 365. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the post-TB group of patients with pulmonary parenchymal fibrosis had a higher transforming growth factor (TGF)-β level (6.09) than the control group
