[Reported occupational diseases. A 5-year follow-up study from the county of Ribe].

The present study sought to examine the health-related, work-related, social and economic consequences of occupational disorders. The survey included 503 patients and was undertaken approximately five years after the disease was notified to the Registry of Occupational Diseases (Danish Working Environment services). The response rate was 80% with women accounting for 56% of the responding group. The mean age was 39.5 years. More than half of all respondents were unskilled workers. White-collar workers and civil servants constituted 14%. Musculo-skeletal disorders were the most frequently diagnosed condition. Forty percent of the occupational diseases were reported in the year in which symptoms arose, while 21% of the patients had been symptomatic for more than six years before the disease was notified. The study indicates that many patients' occupational diseases caused them significant social and medical consequences. During their often protracted illnesses, patients underwent numerous medical examinations and additionally contacted several agencies other than health care providers. Economic consequences for the patient were considerable: reduced earning capacity and expenses were only partially offset by the workers' compensation system. The impact on the health care system was also considerable: occupational disease sufferers averaged one week of hospitalization and 18 visits to a general practitioner or specialist.

[Incidence of juvenile-onset diabetes in Denmark. A prospective registration in the counties of Fyn, Ribe, Sønderjylland and Vejle].

To provide contemporary figures of the incidence of childhood onset diabetes mellitus in Denmark, a prospective routine registration system has been established. The present study covered the population of children aged 0-14 years in four Danish counties, observed during the calendar years 1989 through 1993 concerning new cases of the disease. A total of 201 cases (113 boys and 88 girls) were registered, corresponding with a sex- and age-adjusted incidence rate of 17.4 per 100,000 person-years. Based on a validation analysis the study material is considered virtually complete. Overall, the incidence among boys was slightly higher than among girls, but not statistically significantly so. The incidence rate increased with age for both boys and girls. The results confirm that the incidence of childhood onset diabetes in Denmark is relatively high. Compared with previous Danish studies there has been an increase of about 20-25% in the incidence during the last 20 years. Our study stresses the importance of a continuous registration of new cases of childhood diabetes in Denmark, thereby providing clues for further aetiological studies as well as providing reference values for the planning of the diabetes health care. Our results indicate that at least two independent ascertainment sources must be employed to ensure complete registration in studies that rely upon voluntary registration as the primary reporting source.
