我们分析了来自新英格兰地区烧伤计划（NERBP）的数据子集，以评估就业状况对新英格兰地区烧伤发生率和原因的影响。所分析的NERBP数据子集涉及新英格兰六个州的居民，他们在1978年7月1日至1979年6月30日期间因烧伤住院治疗，受伤时年龄在20岁或以上。对数据的分析表明，男性，尤其是黑人男性和年轻男性，在就业和失业人群中都比女性、白人和老年人经历了更高的烧伤率。在缅因州观察到高烧伤率；罗德岛州的发病率很低。在20至54岁的女性和男性中，烫伤是最常见的工伤烧伤类型，而火焰或闪光烧伤是最常见的。大多数与工作有关的烧伤是由与食品制备或消费、机动车修理和保养以及使用易燃液体有关的活动造成的。从事操作和劳动的人，或从事服务职业的人，在工作时似乎有最高的风险遭受烧伤。
We analyzed a subset of data from the New England Regional Burn Program (NERBP) to assess the effects of employment status on the rates and causes of burn injuries in New England. The subset of the NERBP data analyzed pertained to residents of the six New England states who were hospitalized for the treatment of a burn injury sustained between July 1, 1978 and June 30, 1979 and who were aged 20 years or older at the time of the injury. Analysis of the data identified that men, particularly black men and young men, experienced higher burn rates than did their female, white, and older counterparts among both employed and unemployed persons. High burn rates were observed in Maine; low rates were observed in Rhode Island. Scalds were the most common type of burn among work-related burns to women and to men aged 20 to 54 years, and flame or flash burns were the most common otherwise. The majority of work-related burn injuries were caused by activities related to food preparation or consumption, motor vehicle repair and maintenance, and use of flammable liquids. Persons employed as operatives and laborers, or persons employed in the service occupations, appeared to have the highest risk of sustaining a burn injury while at work.
