30 million adolescents participate in organized sports
A preparticipation physical exam (PPE) is the standard of care
49 states require an exam
Introduction

The PPE should not serve as a substitute for comprehensive health maintenance.
Identify medical problems with risks to the athlete or another participant during participation
Identify conditions requiring treatment before participation
Initiate rehabilitation Remove unnecessary restrictions on participation NOT to disqualify, but to INTERVIENE
Maximize SAFE participation
Goal of the PPE

This may be the only contact with a physician an adolescent experiences.
Only contact with healthcare personnel for 50-90% of athletes
Some states authorize chiropractors, athletic trainers, or other healthcare providers to perform PPE

Medical history can be reviewed rapidly Physicians should confirm key responses Passed out (syncope)? Chest pain? Shortness of breath (dyspnea)? Family history of sudden death?
“The personal and family history of the athlete reveals 64-78% of conditions that could prohibit or alter sports participation making it a more sensitive tool than the physical exam.” Kurowski K, Chandran S.The preparticipation athletic evaluation. Am Fam Phys. 2000 May 1; 61 (9): 2617-8.

Acuity and pupil size 20/40 in at least one eye provides “good vision”
If best corrected in one eye is <20/40 the athlete is functionally one-eyed
Sports in which one cannot effectively protect the eye contraindicated for one-eyed athletes
If one eyed, avoid high risk activities –baseball/softball, ice/field hockey, lacrosse
Vision

“Customary screening strategies … is confined to history and physical examination, generally acknowledged to be limited in its power to consistently identify important cardiovascular abnormalities.” Maron BJ, Douglas PS, Graham TP, et al. Task Force 1: Preparticipation Screening and Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease in Athletes. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2005; 45: 1322-26.

“Obstacles in the US to implementing obligatory government-sponsored national screening including ECGs or echocardiograms are the particularly large population of athletes to screen, major cost-benefit considerations, and the recognition that it is impossible to absolutely eliminate the risks associated with competitive sports.”
“Adaptations to training include a variety of abnormal 12-lead ECG patterns in about 40% of elite athletes, which not infrequently mimic those of cardiac disease.”
Why not EKG and echo?
