The effects on health of the 1980 earthquake in southern Italy were surveyed retrospectively. The sample population includes 3619 people living in seven villages situated near the epicentre. Deaths were one hundred times and injury rates more than five times higher in trapped than in non-trapped victims. The possibility for escape was crucial for survival and depended on the type of building. Most of the rescue and relief work was carried out within a few days by unprepared local people who concentrated assistance on people sharing the same dwelling. The results suggest that the emergency phase for medical care was limited to the three to four days after impact. During the 18 months following the quake, mortality rates in injured (13.7%) and non-injured victims (15.8%) were similar. These results point to the need to establish, in each disaster prone area, a health evaluation system on which effective disaster relief and especially the preparedness of the community can be based.
对意大利南部1980年地震对健康的影响进行了回顾性调查。样本人群包括居住在震中附近七个村庄的3619人。被困者的死亡率是未被困者的100倍，受伤率则高出5倍多。逃生的可能性对生存至关重要，这取决于建筑物的类型。大多数救援和救济工作是由毫无准备的当地人在几天内完成的，他们将援助集中在同一住所的居民身上。结果表明，医疗护理的紧急阶段仅限于地震发生后的三到四天。在地震后的18个月里，受伤者（13.7%）和未受伤者（15.8%）的死亡率相似。这些结果表明，在每个易受灾地区都需要建立一个健康评估系统，以便能够在此基础上进行有效的救灾工作，特别是社区的备灾工作。
