方法：利用2006-2010年全美健康访谈调查数据，比较残疾工人(n=7729)和非残疾工人(n=175947)3个月的非职业性和职业性伤害发生率。我们拟合了多变量Logistic回归模型来计算残疾状况下受伤的优势比和95%可信区间，控制了社会人口学变量。结果：在调查前3个月内，残疾工人比其他工人更容易发生非职业性伤害(优势比[OR]=2.35；95%可信区间[CI]=2.04，2.71)和职业性伤害(OR=2.39；95%CI=1.89，3.01)。两组的主要原因都是跌倒。结论：在美国工人中，残疾状况与非职业和职业伤害风险密切相关。美国残疾人在工作场所面临的安全问题值得进一步研究。关心残疾工人就业及其工作场所安全的联邦机构应带头进一步评估受伤风险，并促进为残疾工人创造一个安全的工作环境。
OBJECTIVES: We examined medically treated injuries among US workers with disability.METHODS: Using 2006-2010 National Health Interview Survey data, we compared 3-month rates of nonoccupational and occupational injuries to workers with disability (n = 7729) and without disability (n = 175 947). We fitted multivariable logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of injuries by disability status, controlling for sociodemographic variables. We also compared leading causes of injuries by disability status.RESULTS: In the 3-month period prior to the survey, workers with disability were more likely than other workers to have nonoccupational injuries (odds ratio [OR]= 2.35; 95% confidence interval [CI]= 2.04, 2.71) and occupational injuries (OR = 2.39; 95% CI = 1.89, 3.01). For both groups, the leading cause was falls.CONCLUSIONS: Disability status was strongly associated with risk of nonoccupational and occupational injuries among US workers. The safety issues facing US workers with disability in the workplace warrant future research. Federal agencies with an interest in the employment of workers with disability and their safety in the workplace should take a lead in further assessing injury risk and in promoting a safe working environment for workers with disability.
