Damage accrued over multiple tasks may be summed to estimate the cumulative damage (CD) accrued over a workday. Validation of this tool was performed using five distal upper extremity (DUE) outcomes (involving medical visits and pain) from an existing epidemiological database involving data from six automotive manufacturing plants. Logistic regression was used to assess the association of the log of the DUET CD measure to DUE outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results demonstrated that the log of the DUET CD measure was highly associated with all five DUE outcomes in both crude analyses and those adjusted for site, age, gender, and body mass index ( p &lt; .01).
