摘要: While work-related upper extremity conditions (WRUECs) cause almost 25% of lost time cases in the US, little is known about their long-term occupational consequences. A self-report survey was mailed to New Hampshire workers reporting a WRUEC one year prior study. Of 72 (52%) valid respondents, 60% had ≥1 week work and 90% returned work. Almost 70% reported acute injury onset, 26% experienced recurrence WRUEC. Both gradual-onset injuries recurrences worse outcomes. Recurrence related shorter job tenure, lower satisfaction, less satisfaction with medical care insurer responses. Results imply that single measure insufficient assess outcomes subsequent The importance secondary prevention highlighted. There need for focus on injuries, as well those acute-onset risk recurrence.
