Non-communicable health risks during mass gatherings
2012, The Lancet Infectious DiseasesTorino 2006 Winter Olympic Games: Highlight on health services organization
2010, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Obviously, the injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, mainly involving lower limbs, were preponderant in Torino, and the very high number of repeat visits by certain athletes was mainly due to recurrent injuries and musculoskeletal diseases or related relapses (7). Moreover, the remarkable presence of respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses, frequently related to infections, is typical of winter events and not summer events (11,12,29). According to the specificity of illnesses and injuries affecting athletes in our setting, the organization of the polyclinics could be recommended for future events, along with the suggestion for improvement of the busiest services (orthopedics, radiology, and physiotherapy) and the shift of less-used services (ear-nose-throat care, ophthalmology, and dentistry) to on-call services.

2007, Clinics in Sports MedicineCitation Excerpt :Large events with multiple venues such as the Olympic, Paralympic, or World Masters Games will necessitate many volunteers who have varying levels of training. The authors' experience and that of others at these events has shown that most medical encounters have been of low acuity [30–34]. In addition, several studies have demonstrated that nurses and paramedics can perform effectively in triage and stabilization of medical problems in areas with established emergency medical services (EMS) and under the guidance of standardized orders developed by a physician [30,31,33].
