Feasibility and diagnostic performance of including point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in preparticipation screening of young competitive athletes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 September 2020
Abstract
Optimal pre-participative screening in young athletes is still controversial. We sought to evaluate the strategy of including point-of-care ultrasound to electrocardiogram. In total, 1188 young competitive athletes were screened in different sports institutions. This proved to be a useful strategy by improving diagnostic performance primarily with respect to detect structural abnormalities and also by minimising positive false cases of electrocardiogram alone.
