背景：眼损伤是一种常见的工作场所伤害，当视力受损时，会导致严重的残疾。目的：探讨波黑某大型诊所眼外伤患者的人口学、外伤及临床特征的工作相关性。方法：我们对波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那泽尼察坎顿医院收治的眼部损伤患者进行了为期9年的回顾性研究。控制年龄和性别，我们使用逻辑回归来检验工作关系对患者和损伤特征以及临床结果的影响。结果：258例患者中，工伤眼损伤71例（27.5%），非工伤眼损伤180例（69.8%）。与工作有关的眼部损伤与年龄、教育程度、职业和损伤类型有关。与体力劳动者相比，农业工人发生与工作有关的眼部损伤的可能性是后者的8倍（95% CI = 1.21-152.0）。工伤相关性不能预测最终的视力或住院时间。结论：需要在全国范围内加强眼安全工作。由于眼部伤害的比例相对较高，而且工作场所是一个相对可控的环境，因此职业眼保护是一个优先事项。
Background: Eye injuries are a prevalent workplace injury and cause substantial disability when vision is impaired.Objective: To examine work-relatedness of demographic, injury, and clinical characteristics of eye injuries in a large clinic in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Methods: We performed a nine-year retrospective study of patients admitted with an eye injury to the Canton Hospital in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzeogvina. Controlling for age and sex, we used logistic regression to examine the influence of work-relatedness on patient and injury characteristics and clinical outcomes.Results: Of 258 patients, 71 (27.5%) had work-related and 180 (69.8%) had non-work-related eye injuries. Work-related eye injury was associated with age, education, occupation, and injury type. Agricultural workers were eight times more likely to experience work-related eye injury (95% CI = 1.21-152.0) compared to manual workers. Work-relatedness of injury did not predict final visual acuity or length of hospital stay.Conclusion: Promotion of eye safety is needed countrywide. Occupational eye protection is a priority due to the relatively proportion of eye injuries and the workplace being a relatively controlled environment.
