Workers' compensation claims in Ohio were evaluated as a source of surveillance data for identifying workplaces at high risk of cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) and analyzed for their demographic and industrial characteristics. During a 5-year period (1980 to 1984), 6,849 workers' compensation claims met the case criteria for CTDs. Tenosynovitis due to continuous motion was the most frequently reported condition (58%), and the wrist was the body part most frequently affected (48%). The highest case rate was observed for female workers in the 36 to 45 age group. Incidence rates for individual companies were determined and those with the highest rates for CTDs were identified. The employer-specific rates for CTDs based on workers' compensation claims data can be used as an effective surveillance tool in locating high-risk operations where ergonomic interventions can be implemented to reduce CTD hazards.
俄亥俄州的工伤赔偿申请被评估为一种监测数据来源，用于识别存在累积性创伤疾病（CTD）高风险的工作场所，并对其人口统计学和行业特征进行分析。在1980年至1984年的5年期间，6849份工伤赔偿申请符合CTD的病例标准。因持续运动导致的腱鞘炎是最常报告的病症（58%），手腕是最常受影响的身体部位（48%）。在36至45岁年龄组的女性工人中观察到最高的病例率。确定了各公司的发病率，并找出了CTD发病率最高的公司。基于工伤赔偿申请数据的特定雇主CTD发病率可作为一种有效的监测工具，用于定位可实施人体工程学干预以减少CTD危害的高风险作业。
