We aimed to study the incidence and outcomes of WRIs in Qatar. We conducted occupational injury surveillance for all WRI patients between 2010 and 2012. A total of 5152 patients were admitted to the level 1 trauma unit in Qatar, of which 1496 (29%) sustained WRI with a mean age of<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mn>34.3<\/mml:mn><mml:mo>\u00b1<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>10.3<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>. Fall from height (FFH) (51%) followed by being struck by heavy objects (FHO) (18%) and motor vehicle crashes (MVC) (17%) was the commonest mechanism of injury (MOI). WRI patients were mainly laborers involved in industrial work (43%), transportation (18%), installation\/repair (12%), carpentry (9%), and housekeeping (3%). Use of protective device was not observed in 64% of cases. The mean ISS was<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mn>11.7<\/mml:mn><mml:mo>\u00b1<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>8.9<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>, median ICU stay was 3 days (1\u201364), and total hospital stay was 6 days (1\u2013192). The overall case fatality was 3.7%. Although the incidence of WRI in Qatar is quite substantial, its mortality rate is relatively low in comparison to other countries of similar socioeconomic status. Prolonged hospital stay and treatment exert a significant socioeconomic burden on the nation\u2019s and families\u2019 resources. Focused and efficient injury prevention strategies are mandatory to prevent future WRI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/430832","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,9]],"date-time":"2014-03-09T09:21:29Z","timestamp":1394356889000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Workplace-Related Traumatic Injuries: Insights from a Rapidly Developing Middle Eastern Country"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2014","author":[{"given":"Hassan","family":"Al-Thani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Trauma Surgery Section, Hamad General Hospital, P.O.
