BACKGROUND: Research on fatal work-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) is limited. This study describes fatal TBIs in the US construction industry. METHODS: Fatal TBIs were extracted from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. RESULTS: From 2003 to 2010, 2,210 fatal TBIs occurred in construction at a rate of 2.6 per 100,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers. Workers aged 65 years and older had the highest fatal TBI rates among all workers (7.9 per 100,000 FTE workers). Falls were the most frequent injury event (n = 1,269, 57%). Structural iron and steel workers and roofers had the highest fatal TBI rate per 100,000 FTE workers (13.7 and 11.2, respectively). Fall-related TBIs were the leading cause of death in these occupations. CONCLUSIONS: A large percentage of TBIs in the construction industry were due to falls. Emphasis on safety interventions is needed to reduce these fall-related TBIs, especially among vulnerable workers.
背景：关于致命的与工作相关的创伤性脑损伤（TBI）的研究有限。本研究描述了美国建筑业中的致命性TBI。 方法：从劳工统计局致命职业伤害普查中提取致命性TBI数据。 结果：2003年至2010年期间，建筑业发生了2210例致命性TBI，每100,000全职等效（FTE）工人中的发生率为2.6例。65岁及以上的工人在所有工人中致命性TBI发生率最高（每100,000 FTE工人中有7.9例）。跌倒为最常见的伤害事件（n = 1269，占57%）。结构钢铁工人和屋面工每100,000 FTE工人中的致命性TBI发生率最高（分别为13.7和11.2）。与跌倒相关的TBI是这些职业中的主要死亡原因。 结论：建筑业中很大一部分TBI是由跌倒所致。需要重视安全干预措施以减少这些与跌倒相关的TBI，尤其是在易受伤害的工人中。
