工作场所创伤性伤害（WRI）对全球公共卫生产生重大负面影响。我们旨在研究卡塔尔WRI的发病率和结局。我们在2010年至2012年期间对所有WRI患者进行了职业伤害监测。卡塔尔1级创伤病房共收治了5152例患者，其中1496例（29%）持续WRI，平均年龄为34.3 ± 10.3岁。从高处坠落（FFH）（51%），其次是被重物击中（FHO）（18%）和机动车碰撞（MVC）（17%）是最常见的损伤机制（MOI）。WRI患者主要是从事工业工作（43%），运输（18%），安装/维修（12%），木工（9%）和家政（3%）的劳动者。在64%的病例中未观察到保护装置的使用。平均ISS为11.7 ± 8.9，中位ICU住院时间为3天（1-64），总住院时间为6天（1-192）。总病死率为3.7%。虽然WRI在卡塔尔的发病率相当高，但与其他具有类似社会经济地位的国家相比，其死亡率相对较低。长期住院和治疗对国家和家庭的资源造成重大的社会经济负担。重点和有效的伤害预防策略是强制性的，以防止未来的WRI。
Traumatic workplace-related injuries (WRIs) carry a substantial negative impact on the public health worldwide. We aimed to study the incidence and outcomes of WRIs in Qatar. We conducted occupational injury surveillance for all WRI patients between 2010 and 2012. A total of 5152 patients were admitted to the level 1 trauma unit in Qatar, of which 1496 (29%) sustained WRI with a mean age of 34.3 ± 10.3. Fall from height (FFH) (51%) followed by being struck by heavy objects (FHO) (18%) and motor vehicle crashes (MVC) (17%) was the commonest mechanism of injury (MOI). WRI patients were mainly laborers involved in industrial work (43%), transportation (18%), installation/repair (12%), carpentry (9%), and housekeeping (3%). Use of protective device was not observed in 64% of cases. The mean ISS was 11.7 ± 8.9, median ICU stay was 3 days (1–64), and total hospital stay was 6 days (1–192). The overall case fatality was 3.7%. Although the incidence of WRI in Qatar is quite substantial, its mortality rate is relatively low in comparison to other countries of similar socioeconomic status. Prolonged hospital stay and treatment exert a significant socioeconomic burden on the nation's and families' resources. Focused and efficient injury prevention strategies are mandatory to prevent future WRI.
