Adults' Risk of Traumatic Brain Injury Associated with Walking a Leashed Dog, 04/25/2023

From 2001 to 2020, among individuals treated in U.S. emergency rooms for injuries due to leashed dog walking, traumatic brain injury ranked second.

According to a study from Johns Hopkins University, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) were the second most frequent injury among adults receiving treatment in American emergency departments for accidents involving leashed dogs from 2001 to 2020. Additionally, the researchers discovered that serious injuries like fractures and TBIs were more common in women and all adults 65 years of age and older than in other demographic groups. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise published the report.

Nearly 53% of American households own at least one dog, according to a national pet ownership survey conducted in 2021–2022, according to study first author Ridge Maxson, a third-year medical student at Johns Hopkins University. "During the COVID-19 pandemic, dog ownership also rose dramatically recently. Although many humans regularly walk their dogs, few studies have examined the injury burden associated with this exercise. We felt there was a need for more thorough information on these kinds of situations.

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health were the researchers' respective institutions. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database was used by the researchers to determine that, between 2001 and 2020, an estimated 422,659 adult patients in U.S. emergency rooms sought care for injuries sustained while walking dogs on a leash.

Finger fracture, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and shoulder sprain or strain were the top three injuries among all people. The two most frequent injuries among persons 65 and older were TBI and hip fracture. Concussions and non concussive internal head injuries, such as a brain contusion (a bruise of the brain tissue), an epidural hematoma, or a subdural hematoma (bleeding beneath the brain's outer membrane), were both included in the study's list of TBIs.

Notably, women were 50% more likely than men to suffer a fracture from accidents involving dog walking. Compared to younger dog walkers, older dog walkers were more than three times more likely to fall, more than twice as likely to break a bone, and 60% more likely to suffer a TBI.

The estimated annual incidence of injuries from leash-reliant dog walking more than doubled over the course of the 20-year study period. The researchers suggest that this pattern may be a result of the promotion of dog walking to increase fitness along with increased dog ownership rates.

The research team believes that its findings will increase dog owners' awareness of the dangers of leash-reliant dog walking and motivate physicians to talk with their patients about this risk.

According to the senior author of the study and director of the Division of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery at Johns Hopkins Medicine Edward McFarland, M.D., "Clinicians should be aware of these risks and convey them to patients, especially women and older adults." "At routine health maintenance visits for these susceptible groups, physicians are urged to screen for pet ownership, evaluate fracture and fall risk, and discuss safe dog walking techniques. Despite our findings, we firmly advise everyone to keep their pets on leashes wherever it is required by law.

10 THINGS YOUR CAT WOULD TELL YOU...

1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me - it is crucial to my well being.

4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment.

5. You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I only have you.

6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me.

7. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget.

8. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you.

9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out too long, or my heart is getting too old and weak.

10. Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say: “I cannot bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if you are there, even my death.
