Trauma registries continue to be underutilized for surveillance, despite providing data on the most severe injuries with a level of detail not available in national data sets or workers' compensation files.
We evaluate trends and patterns of traumatic occupational injuries from the Illinois Trauma Registry (ITR).
Between 1995 and 2003, 44.4 of every 100,000 Illinois workers (age-adjusted) suffered work-related, nonfatal traumatic injuries. The majority of workers suffering traumatic injuries were white males younger than 55 years old. Falls were the most common cause of injury, and fracture of the extremities was the most common type of injury experienced by Illinois workers. Approximately 8% of all workers required either partial or total ambulatory assistance at time of discharge.
The ITR provides detailed and complete data regarding the most severe occupational injuries.
In contrast to reports from national surveillance data sets, we do not observe a significant decline in occupational injuries between 1995 and 2003. Trauma registries should be used more frequently for surveillance programs, because they provide detailed and reliable data regarding the most severe occupational injuries not available in other data sets.
创伤登记系统在监测方面的利用程度仍然不足，尽管它能提供有关最严重损伤的数据，其详细程度是国家数据集或工伤赔偿档案中所没有的。
我们评估了伊利诺伊州创伤登记系统（ITR）中创伤性职业伤害的趋势和模式。
1995年至2003年期间，每10万名伊利诺伊州工人（年龄调整后）中有44.4人遭受与工作相关的非致命创伤性伤害。遭受创伤性伤害的工人大多数是年龄小于55岁的白人男性。跌倒为最常见的受伤原因，四肢骨折是伊利诺伊州工人最常经历的受伤类型。所有工人中约8%在出院时需要部分或全部非卧床辅助。
ITR提供了有关最严重职业伤害的详细且完整的数据。
与国家监测数据集的报告不同，我们未观察到1995年至2003年期间职业伤害有显著下降。创伤登记系统应更频繁地用于监测项目，因为它们能提供有关最严重职业伤害的详细且可靠的数据，而这些数据在其他数据集中是没有的。
