华盛顿州在1984年和1988年提出的工人赔偿索赔中，有11，356项职业病索赔和178，927项职业伤害索赔。与职业伤害相比，职业病的拒绝率（18%对4%）和资源利用率（14%对5%）更高。最能预测拒绝的因素包括特定的疾病类别和提供者的申请频率。制定诊断准则将有助于保健服务提供者查明职业病并正确地描述其特征。
Washington State's workers' compensation claims filed in 1984 and followed through 1988 contained 11,356 claims for occupational disease and 178,927 claims for occupational injury. There was a higher rate of rejection (18% v 4%) and resource utilization (14% v 5%) for occupational disease when compared to occupational injury. The factors most predictive of rejection included the specific disease category and the provider frequency of filing. Development of diagnostic guidelines would aid health providers in identifying and properly characterizing occupational diseases.
