当前人口调查（CPS）经常被用作分母信息的来源，用于分析美国致命的职业伤害率。然而，鉴于CPS的样本量相对较小，检查具有人口或地理特征的职业或行业交叉分类的分析通常会产生高度不精确的比率估计。十年一次的人口普查为费率分母信息提供了另一个来源。我们调查的致命伤害率的可比性，使用这两个来源的率分母information.MethodsInformation致命的职业伤害，发生在1983年1月1日和1994年12月31日之间的国家创伤性职业死亡监测系统。按职业、行业、年龄和性别分列的就业年度估计数来自CPS，并通过1980年和1990年人口普查的线性内插和外推得出。使用这些分母数据得出的致命伤害率进行了compared. ResultsThe致命伤害率计算使用基于人口普查的分母数据是在10%的比率使用CPS数据计算的所有主要职业组除了农业/林业/渔业，其中致命伤害率计算使用基于人口普查的分母数据为24.69/100，使用CPS数据计算的比率为19.97/100，000工人年。分母数据源的选择有最小的影响估计的趋势在日历时间内的致命伤害率为大多数主要职业和industrialgroups.ConclusionsThe人口普查提供了一个合理的来源，得出致命伤害率分母数据的情况下，CPS不提供足够精确的数据，尽管人口普查可能会低估某些行业的风险人口，这是就业季节性变化的结果。Am.

BackgroundThe Current Population Survey (CPS) is often used as a source of denominator information for analyses of US fatal occupational injury rates. However, given the relatively small sample size of the CPS, analyses that examine the cross‐classification of occupation or industry with demographic or geographic characteristics will often produce highly imprecise rate estimates. The Decennial Census of Population provides an alternative source for rate denominator information. We investigate the comparability of fatal injury rates derived using these two sources of rate denominator information.MethodsInformation on fatal occupational injuries that occurred between January 1, 1983 and December 31, 1994 was obtained from the National Traumatic Occupational Fatality surveillance system. Annual estimates of employment by occupation, industry, age, and sex were derived from the CPS, and by linear interpolation and extrapolation from the 1980 and 1990 Census of Population. Fatal injury rates derived using these denominator data were compared.ResultsFatal injury rates calculated using Census‐based denominator data were within 10% of rates calculated using CPS data for all major occupation groups except farming/forestry/fishing, for which the fatal injury rate calculated using Census‐based denominator data was 24.69/100,000 worker‐years and the rate calculated using CPS data was 19.97/100,000 worker‐years. The choice of denominator data source had minimal influence on estimates of trends over calendar time in the fatal injury rates for most major occupation and industry groups.ConclusionsThe Census offers a reasonable source for deriving fatal injury rate denominator data in situations where the CPS does not provide sufficiently precise data, although the Census may underestimate the population‐at‐risk in some industries as a consequence of seasonal variation in employment.
