Despite the magnitude of occupational hand injuries, there are no authoritative guidelines for hand injury prevention, and little research has been done to investigate the epidemiology of acute occupational hand injuries in South China or other developing areas. In this study, the epidemiology of acute occupational hand injuries treated in emergency departments (EDs) in Foshan City, South China, was examined and data were supplied to assist with preventive strategies in similar developing regions.
A multicenter study was prospectively designed and conducted in 5 large hospital EDs in Foshan City from July 2010 to June 2011. An anonymous questionnaire was designed specifically to collect the data for this study.
A total of 2142 patients with acute occupational hand injury completed the questionnaire within the 1-year study period. Results indicated that most occupational hand injuries were caused by machinery. Hand injury type and site of the injury did not correspond to age, but were related to gender and job category. July and August 2010 were the peak periods of admission to EDs, while January and February 2010 were the trough periods.
Epidemiological data enhance our knowledge of acute occupational hand injuries and could play a role in the prevention and treatment of future occupational hand injuries.
尽管职业性手部损伤数量众多，但尚无预防手部损伤的权威指南，而且在中国南方或其他发展中地区，针对急性职业性手部损伤的流行病学研究较少。在本研究中，对中国南方佛山市急诊科收治的急性职业性手部损伤的流行病学进行了调查，并提供数据以协助类似发展中地区制定预防策略。
2010年7月至2011年6月，在佛山市5家大型医院急诊科前瞻性设计并开展了一项多中心研究。专门设计了一份匿名问卷来收集本研究的数据。
在为期1年的研究期间，共有2142例急性职业性手部损伤患者完成了问卷。结果表明，大多数职业性手部损伤是由机器造成的。手部损伤类型和损伤部位与年龄无关，但与性别和职业类别有关。2010年7月和8月是急诊科收治患者的高峰期，而2010年1月和2月是低谷期。
流行病学数据增进了我们对急性职业性手部损伤的了解，并可能在未来职业性手部损伤的预防和治疗中发挥作用。
