摘要
We report increased mortality from accidental poisoning among claimants with upper extremity neuropathy compared to the general population. Elevations were found in overall and cancer-related mortality when comparing workers who were disabled to non-disabled. Since neuropathy should not directly impact mortality, the elevations may arise from the work-related disability itself. ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate and compare mortality after disabling and nondisabling occupational injuries.MethodsVital status was ascertained through 2020 for 2077 individuals with a workers' compensation claim for upper extremity neuropathy in West Virginia in 1998 or 1999. Standardized mortality ratios compared mortality to the West Virginia general population. Hazard ratios (HRs) obtained from Cox regression models compared mortality among those with and without lost work time or permanent disability.ResultsOverall, the standardized mortality ratio for accidental poisoning deaths was elevated (1.75, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08-2.68). All-cause mortality HRs and cancer HRs were elevated for lost work time (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.93-1.28; HR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.09-2.08, respectively) and permanent disability (HR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.04-1.44; HR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.27-2.48, respectively).ConclusionsWork-related disability was associated with broad elevations in mortality.
