OBJECTIVES: This study examined incidence rates of medically identified suicide acts (self-inflicted injuries, either fatal or nonfatal) and case fatality by age, sex, race, method used. METHODS: The authors analyzed data on 10,892 suicides 57,439 attempted among hospital-admitted individuals in 8 states, along with 6219 released from emergency departments 2 states. RESULTS: states experienced a mean 11 119 per 100,000 residents each year. Groups high were men, the elderly, Whites; groups...
Objectives. Injuries pose a threat to health and well-being are major source of medical spending in the United States for children youth 0 21 years age. This study provides national estimates incidence fatal nonfatal childhood injuries comprehensive cost by age, gender, race, family income, metropolitan residence, place incident. Methods. Eight National Health Interview Survey data (1987 1994) were used estimate injury rates among age younger. The survey documents all medically attended or...
Acrylamide (AM), used in the manufacture of polyacrylamide and grouting agents, is produced during cooking foods. Workplace exposure to AM can occur through dermal inhalation routes. The objectives this study were evaluate metabolism humans following oral administration, compare hemoglobin adduct formation on measure hormone levels. health people exposed under controlled conditions was continually monitored. Prior conducting exposures humans, a low-dose conducted rats administered 3 mg/kg...
Objective: Despite minimum-purchase-age laws, young people regularly drink alcohol. This study estimated the magnitude and costs of problems resulting from underage drinking by category—traffic crashes, violence, property crime, suicide, burns, drownings, fetal alcohol syndrome, high-risk sex, poisonings, psychoses, dependency treatment—and compared those with associated sales. Previous studies did not break out age. Method: For each category alcohol-related problems, we fatal nonfatal cases...
Objective To count and characterise injuries resulting from legal intervention by US law enforcement personnel injury ratios per 10 000 arrests or police stops, thus expanding discussion of excessive force beyond fatalities. Design Ecological. Population Those injured during as recorded in 2012 Vital Statistics mortality census, Healthcare Cost Utilization Project nationwide inpatient emergency department samples, two 2015 newspaper censuses deaths. Exposure 2014 Federal Bureau Investigation...
Cost data are useful in comparing various health problems, assessing risks, setting research priorities, and selecting interventions that most efficiently reduce burdens. Using analyses of national state sets, this article presents on the frequency, costs, quality-of-life losses associated with unintentional childhood injuries 1996. The severity, potential for death disability, costs injury make it a leading problem. Unintentional 1996 resulted an estimated $14 billion lifetime medical...
Objective: To estimate the economic cost of injuries in a population US high school varsity athletes. Design and Setting: The North Carolina High School Athletic Injury Study, conducted from 1996 to 1999, was prospective cohort study injury incidence severity. A two-stage cluster sampling technique used select athletic teams 100 schools Carolina. An model injury. Participants: Varsity athletes 12 sports: football, girls’ boy’s soccer, boys’ track, basketball, baseball, softball, wrestling,...
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are a class of vehicle technologies designed to increase safety by providing drivers with timely warnings and autonomously intervening avoid hazardous situations. Though laboratory testing suggests that ADAS will greatly impact crash involvement rates, real-world evidence characterizes their effectiveness is still limited. This study evaluates quantifies the association likelihood moderate or severe for new-model BMWs in United States.Vehicle option...
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This retrospective cohort study uses survival analysis to estimate the effectiveness of Toyota ADAS in helping prevent system-relevant crashes. production data were merged with police reported crash files from eight U.S. states for years 2015 up 2019 by 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN). System-relevant scenarios included: striking front-to-rear, single run-off-the-road, same-direction sideswipe, head-on,...
OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to provide national estimates the frequency and cost school injuries. METHODS: Six years National Health Interview Survey data were used estimate nonfatal injury incidence rates, multiple sources fatalities, highway crash bus incidence. RESULTS: Each year, 3.7 million children suffer a substantial at school, resulting in an estimated $3.2 billion medical spending $115 good health lost. Nonschool fatalities greatly exceed fatalities; from per hour...
Products under the purview of Consumer Product Safety Commission are involved in a large share injuries and injury costs USA.This study analyses incidence data from National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) cost based on Cost Model, integrated with NEISS. We examined magnitude non-fatal consumer product related injury, distribution products these injuries. compared findings an earlier identical 2000.In 2008-2010, 43.8% annual 30.4 million treated hospital emergency departments...
Objective: This study examines the tendency toward problem behavior as an explanation for relationship between substance use and occupational injury. Method: The authors used a matched case-control nested in cohort of 26,413 workers, which cases (n = 3,994) were workers suffering Five controls per case 19,970) selected from active on day injury job type. Conditional logistic regression modeled association with injury, controlling behaviors worker characteristics. Problem was indicated...
Injuries are a leading cause of death and acquired disability, result in significant medical spending. Prior estimates injury-related cost have been limited by older data, for certain population, or specific mechanisms. This study estimated the incidence hospital-treated nonfatal injuries United States (US) 2013 related comprehensive costs. Injury-related emergency department (ED) visits hospitalizations were identified using Healthcare Cost Utilization Project (HCUP) data. Models costs...
Background: PeerCare is a workplace peer intervention program that focuses on changing attitudes toward on-the-job substance use and trains workers to recognize, intervene with, refer coworkers who have problem. Methods: Monthly injuries at the study company (January 1983 through June 1996) were compared counts four other companies in same industry. Using these panel data, fixed-effects negative binomial regression measured association of percentage workforce covered by with injury rate....
Background: Primary data collection has established that alcohol causes injuries treated in the emergency department. No comparable exist for admitted to hospital. Data on injury risks of heavy drinkers relative other also are sparse. Methods: We estimated (i) whether regular have higher hospitalized than people when alcohol‐negative and (ii) how much risk rises alcohol‐positive. combined national consumption with metabolism rates estimate hours spent alcohol‐positive versus during a year...
Objective: To compare availability, urban price, and affordability of child/family safety devices between 18 economically diverse countries. Design: Descriptive: price surveys by local organisations or shoppers. Setting: Retail stores internet vendors. Main outcome measures: Prices expressed in US dollars, measured hours factory work needed to buy a child seat, belt-positioning booster bicycle helmet, smoke alarm. Results: family varied widely countries but the variation for seats helmets...
Despite the rising toll of drug poisoning deaths in United States, extent problem among adolescents and young adults ages 15-24 years has received relatively little attention. We examined sociodemographic characteristics state trends from 2006 to 2015 estimated costs mortality this population.We used National Vital Statistics System's Multiple Cause Death files 2015. analyzed using Joinpoint regression analysis calculated total deaths, including medical costs, work loss quality life loss,...
