Work related injuries were identified from these records using International Classification of Disease (ICD-9) external cause of injury codes, which have a fifth digit, and sometimes a fourth digit, indicating place of occurrence, and the responsibility of payment schedule, which identifies workers\u2019 compensation as being responsible for payment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>The most frequent causes of work related hospitalisations were falls, machinery related, overexertion, struck against, cutting or piercing, and struck by falling objects. Almost all cases of machinery related, struck by falling object, and caught in or between injuries were found to be work related. Overall, there was good agreement between the two indicators (ICD-9 code and payment schedule) for identifying work relatedness of injury hospitalisations (kappa\u200a=\u200a0.75, p &lt; 0.01). There was better concordance between them for injuries, such as struck against, drowning\/suffocation\/foreign body, fire\/flame\/natural\/environmental, and explosions\/firearms\/hot substance\/electric current\/radiation, and poor concordance for injuries, such as machinery related, struck by falling object, overexertion, cutting or piercing, and caught in or between.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>Hospital discharge records are collected for administrative reasons, and thus are readily available. Depending on the coding reliability and validity, hospital discharge records represent an alternative and independent source of information for serious work related injuries. The study findings support the use of hospital discharge records as a potential surveillance system for such injuries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2005.026047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,23]],"date-time":"2006-03-23T17:28:51Z","timestamp":1143134931000},"page":"290-296","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["An evaluation of hospital discharge records as a tool for serious work related injury surveillance"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"H","family":"Alamgir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Koehoorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Ostry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Tompa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Demers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-198908000-00015"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1374","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-199512000-00007","volume":"37","year":"1995","journal-title":"J Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1342","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-199512000-00003","volume":"37","year":"1995","journal-title":"J Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-199804000-00006"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-200001000-00008","volume":"42","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.10142"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0274(199904)35:4<335::AID-AJIM3>3.0.CO;2-8"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.81.1.85","volume":"81","year":"1991","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-199505000-00004"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0274(199608)30:2<130::AID-AJIM3>3.0.CO;2-4"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.11","first-page":"182","volume":"15","year":"1998","journal-title":"Am J Epidemiol"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.1063"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0001-4575(02)00109-4"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.14","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"427","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700230306","volume":"23","year":"1993","journal-title":"Am J Ind Med"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1076\/opep.6.3.159.1505"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.16","first-page":"52","volume":"61","year":"2004","journal-title":"Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.17","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.13031\/2013.8433","volume":"8","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Agric Saf Health"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.18","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"112","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.162.1.9906108","volume":"162","year":"2000","journal-title":"Am J Respir Crit Care Med"},{"key":"2024052223161158000_63.4.290.19","unstructured":"US department of Health and Human Services.
