Worker demographics, nature of injury and disposition, and incident circumstances were abstracted from emergency department medical records, typically within 24\u201372 hours of treatment.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\u2014Approximately 3.6 million occupational injuries and illnesses were treated in emergency departments in 1998. Younger workers, particularly males, continue to have the highest rates of work related injuries. Together, lacerations, punctures, amputations, and avulsions represented one fourth of the emergency department treated injuries, mostly to hand and fingers. Sprains and strains, largely to the trunk, also accounted for one fourth of the injuries. The three leading injury events were contact with objects, bodily reactions and exertions, and falls.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\u2014Despite apparent decreases in rates, youth continue to have a high burden of injury in the workplace. However, three fourths of all emergency department treated injuries occur to workers 20\u201344 years of age. Emergency department surveillance is particularly amenable to capture of young worker injuries and provides a wealth of injury details to guide prevention efforts\u2014efforts that will likely reduce occupational injuries as these workers age. Emergency department surveillance also provides injury estimates with few demographic or employer constraints, other than the medical venue used.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.7.suppl_1.i21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,10,1]],"date-time":"2002-10-01T15:53:59Z","timestamp":1033487639000},"page":"i21-i26","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":85,"title":["Non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses treated in hospital emergency departments in the United States"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"L L","family":"Jackson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092604102997000_7.suppl_1.i21.1","first-page":"313","volume":"50","year":"2001","journal-title":"MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep"},{"key":"2025092604102997000_7.suppl_1.i21.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.84.4.657"},{"key":"2025092604102997000_7.suppl_1.i21.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"793","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700270604","volume":"27","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am J Ind Med"},{"key":"2025092604102997000_7.suppl_1.i21.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-199912000-00021"},{"key":"2025092604102997000_7.suppl_1.i21.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-199709000-00009"},{"key":"2025092604102997000_7.suppl_1.i21.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chen GX, Layne LA.
