The purpose of this study is to present data on the distribution and etiology of nonfatal injuries resulting in hospital discharges in New York City (NYC). Records of all NYC residents discharged for injuries from acute stay hospitals 1990-1992 were tabulated. Injuries from surgical and medical procedures, adverse effects of drugs in therapeutic use, and late effects of injury were excluded. The results indicate that there was a marked geographic variation in rates: higher rates of assaults, self-inflicted injuries, burns, unintentional injuries from firearms, and injuries to bicyclists in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The data show that injuries in NYC have distinctive features that should form the basis for targeted prevention activities.
本研究的目的是呈现纽约市(NYC)因非致命伤导致出院的分布情况及病因数据。对1990年至1992年急性住院医院因伤出院的所有纽约市居民记录进行了列表统计。手术和医疗程序导致的损伤、治疗用药物的不良反应以及损伤的后期影响被排除在外。结果表明,发病率存在明显的地域差异:在弱势社区,袭击、自残、烧伤、枪支意外伤以及骑自行车者受伤的发生率较高。数据显示,纽约市的损伤具有独特特征,应为有针对性的预防活动提供依据。
