Historically, Alaska has had an occupational fatality rate five times greater than that for the United States. This article reports recent surveillance results for hospitalized nonfatal work-related injuries in Alaska, using the population-based Alaska Trauma Registry (ATR) from 1991 through 1995. The fishing, construction, and logging industries led with the highest number of reported cases in the ATR. Workers in the logging, water transportation, and wood product manufacturing industries had the highest injury rates. Cause, severity, type, and body region of injury were examined for each target industry. For industries with the highest numbers and rates of injuries, in most cases, falls were identified as a common cause of injuries. A fractured bone was the most common type of injury, and the extremities were the most common body region affected. The ATR has proved to be a reliable tool for work-related injury surveillance and will be helpful in planning research priorities and targeting injury prevention efforts.
从历史上看，阿拉斯加的职业死亡率是美国的五倍。本文报告了阿拉斯加近期基于人群的1991年至1995年阿拉斯加创伤登记处（ATR）对住院的非致命性工作相关伤害的监测结果。渔业、建筑业和伐木业在ATR中报告的病例数最多。伐木业、水上运输业和木制品制造业的工人受伤率最高。对每个目标行业的受伤原因、严重程度、类型和身体部位进行了检查。对于受伤人数和受伤率最高的行业，在大多数情况下，跌倒被确定为常见的受伤原因。骨折是最常见的受伤类型，四肢是受影响最常见的身体部位。事实证明，ATR是工作相关伤害监测的可靠工具，将有助于规划研究重点和确定伤害预防工作的目标。
