This paper summarizes the findings of a NIOSH reported entitled "The Chronic Effects of Repeated Mechanical Trauma to the Skin: A Description of the Problem in the Workplace" (the Trauma Report). Medical literature and U.S. health statistics (population surveys and occupational health reports) were reviewed to determine the long-range impact of repeated mechanical trauma sustained in the workplace. Trauma was rarely recognized as contributing to dermatological disorders. Conventional sources of information were found to be inadequate for precise estimation of costs. A minimal estimate of the annual cost of cutaneous disorders resulting from repeated mechanical trauma to the skin is $15 million.
本文总结了美国国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）一份题为《反复机械性皮肤创伤的慢性影响：工作场所问题描述》（《创伤报告》）的研究结果。回顾了医学文献和美国健康统计数据（人口调查和职业健康报告），以确定在工作场所遭受反复机械性创伤的长期影响。创伤很少被认为是导致皮肤病的原因。发现传统信息来源不足以精确估算成本。因反复机械性皮肤创伤导致的皮肤疾病每年的最低成本估计为1500万美元。
