The average costs of Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) and odds ratios for filing medical claims related to MSD were examined. The medical claims were identified by ICD 9 codes for four US Census regions within retail trade. Large private firms' medical claims data from Thomson Reuters Inc. MarketScan databases for the years 2003 through 2006 were used. Average costs were highest for claims related to lumbar region (ICD 9 Code: 724.02) and number of claims were largest for low back syndrome (ICD 9 Code: 724.2). Whereas the odds of filing an MSD claim did not vary greatly over time, average costs declined over time. The odds of filing claims rose with age and were higher for females and southerners than men and non-southerners. Total estimated national medical costs for MSDs within retail trade were $389 million (2007 USD).
研究了肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)的平均成本和与 MSD 相关的医疗索赔申请的赔率。通过美国零售贸易四个地区的 ICD-9 代码识别医疗索赔。使用了来自汤姆森路透公司 MarketScan 数据库的 2003 年至 2006 年大型私营公司的医疗索赔数据。与腰椎区域(ICD-9 代码:724.02)相关的索赔的平均成本最高,腰痛综合征(ICD-9 代码:724.2)的索赔数量最大。虽然申请 MSD 索赔的几率随时间变化不大,但平均成本随时间下降。提出索赔的几率随着年龄的增长而上升,女性和南方人比男性和非南方人更高。零售业的 MSD 全国医疗费用估计为 3.89 亿美元(2007 年美元)。
