(1)背景资料：有没有农业伤害的国家监督，尽管农业职业是在美国最危险的工作使用工人的赔偿（WC）的数据来估计农业伤害的负担和可能性经历受伤的身体部位参与，原因和性质在农业操作。(2)方法：使用了一家大型保险公司提供的2010年至2016年的WC数据，该公司覆盖了美国14个州的中小型农场。我们调查了损伤特征和WC成本之间的关系，以及更严重索赔与不太严重索赔之间的关系。计算了可归因于具体索赔类型的费用比例。(3)结果：在总共1000起索赔中，67%仅为医疗索赔。WC应付索赔（n = 866）引起的总费用为2，150万美元。其中，96%是由于更严重的索赔导致残疾或死亡。最常见的受伤部位是上肢远端。坠落或飞行物体和碰撞是最昂贵和最常见的受伤原因。(4)结论：在与保险公司和农业经营机构合作确定预防工作的优先次序时，按主要伤害特征描述农业伤害的成本和严重程度可能是有用的。
(1) Background: There is no national surveillance of agricultural injuries, despite agricultural occupations being among the most hazardous in the U.S. This effort uses workers’ compensation (WC) data to estimate the burden of agricultural injuries and the likelihood of experiencing an injury by body part involved, cause, and nature in farming operations. (2) Methods: WC data from 2010 to 2016 provided by a large insurance company covering small to medium-sized farm operations from 14 U.S. states was used. We investigated the associations between injury characteristics and WC costs and the risk of having a more severe versus a less severe claim. The proportion of costs attributable to specific claim types was calculated. (3) Results: Of a total 1000 claims, 67% were medical only. The total cost incurred by WC payable claims (n = 866) was USD 21.5 million. Of this, 96% was attributable to more severe claims resulting in disabilities or death. The most common body part injured was the distal upper extremity. Falling or flying objects and collisions were the most expensive and common causes of injury. (4) Conclusions: Characterizing the cost and severity of agricultural injury by key injury characteristics may be useful when prioritizing prevention efforts in partnership with insurance companies and agricultural operations.
