目的：通过比较和对比四种不同的数据来源，估计加拿大职业病发病率和死亡率的程度。数据来源：1)加拿大国家工人补偿委员会统计，2)美国劳工统计局根据加拿大劳动力调整，3)加州医生根据加拿大劳动力调整的第一份报告，以及4)通过文献审查获得的总体疾病发病率的比例模型。主要发现：每个数据来源在提供加拿大职业病发病率和死亡率程度的真实估计方面都是有限的。总体而言，估计新增职业病病例为77 900至112 000例，职业病死亡人数为2 381至6 010人。结论：职业病是加拿大发病率和死亡率的重要和被低估的原因。(C)1994年Wiley-Liss，Inc.
Objective: To estimate the extent of occupational disease morbidity and mortality in Canada by comparing and contrasting four different data sources. Data Sources: 1) Canadian National Workers' Compensation Boards Statistics, 2) U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusted to Canadian Workforce, 3) California Physician's First Reports adjusted to the Canadian Workforce, and 4) proportionate model of overall disease incidence obtained through literature review. Main Findings: Each data source was limited in its ability to provide a true estimate of the extent of morbidity and mortality due to occupational disease in Canada. Collectively, an estimate of between 77,900 and 112,000 new cases of occupational diseases and 2,381 to 6,010 occupational disease deaths were obtained. Conclusions: Occupational diseases are a significant and underestimated cause of morbidity and mortality in Canada. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
