介绍 工作场所发生的创伤性脑损伤(TBI)会带来重大的经济影响,如工资损失和住院费用。关于工作相关的创伤性脑损伤的危险因素的概况知之甚少。 旨在 本研究描述了与工作有关的TBI的伤前人口学特征、损伤相关特征和结局,并与非工作有关的TBI进行了比较。本研究旨在提供与工作相关的TBI的概况,以提高我们对工作场所TBI的理解和认识,并更好地为预防工作提供信息。 方法 采用1993年至2001年安大略(加拿大)创伤登记处(OTR)综合数据集(CDS)的横断面研究。将ICD-9-CM编码的头部损伤病例纳入铅创伤医院的严重损伤数据库。 结果 该研究确定了950名(7.3%)与工作有关的TBI患者。与非工作相关的TBI患者的伤前人口统计学和损伤相关特征,如年龄、性别、损伤机制、损伤严重度评分、住院时间和住院死亡率,均存在显著差异。 讨论 这项研究提供了基于加拿大数据的第一个与工作相关的TBI的全面概述。它确定了高风险特征,以更好地进行有针对性的预防。
INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurring in the workplace carries major economic repercussions such as lost wages and hospital costs. Little is known about the profile of risk factors for work-related traumatic brain injury. AIMS This study describes the pre-injury demographic characteristics, injury-related characteristics and outcomes of work-related TBI and compares them with those of non work-related TBI. This study aims to provide profiles of work-related TBI to improve our understanding and awareness of TBI in the workplace and to better inform prevention efforts. METHODS Cross-sectional study using the Comprehensive Data Set (CDS) of Ontario (Canada) Trauma Registry (OTR) from 1993 to 2001. Cases with the ICD-9-CM codes for head injury were included in the database of serious injuries from lead trauma hospitals. RESULTS The study identified 950 (7.3%) people with work-related TBI. Pre-injury demographics and injury-related characteristics of work-related TBI were significantly different from non work-related TBI such as age, gender, mechanisms of injury, Injury Severity Score, length of stay and in-hospital death. DISCUSSION This research provides the first comprehensive overview of work-related TBI based on Canadian data. It identifies high risk profiles to better target prevention.
