To describe the epidemiology of hospitalized, work-related burns among Massachusetts residents aged 16 years or older, 825 Massachusetts residents who were burned between 1 July 1978 and 30 June 1979, and who were treated as hospital inpatients in any of 240 New England hospitals, were studied. Two hundred forty (29%) of the 825 identified burns were known to be work-related. Our findings suggest that the workplace is a major contributor to hospitalized burn injury among employed males, accounting for 60% of their burns. Young workers and black workers experienced the highest rates of burning, with rates two and four times higher than their older and white counterparts, respectively. Scalds were the most common type of work-related burn injury for individuals in each age category, accounting for 45% of the burns overall.
为描述马萨诸塞州16岁及以上居民因工作相关烧伤而住院的流行病学情况，我们对825名在1978年7月1日至1979年6月30日期间被烧伤、并在新英格兰地区240家医院中的任何一家接受住院治疗的马萨诸塞州居民进行了研究。在这825例已确认的烧伤病例中，有240例（29%）被认为与工作相关。我们的研究结果表明，工作场所是导致在职男性因烧伤住院的主要因素，占其烧伤病例的60%。年轻工人和黑人工人的烧伤率最高，分别是年长工人和白人工人的两倍和四倍。烫伤是各年龄组人群中最常见的与工作相关的烧伤类型，占所有烧伤病例的45%。
