MARC recordThe pattern of medical contacts in a geographically isolated mine village in Greenland / Jørgen Gottlieb.
| Title: | The pattern of medical contacts in a geographically isolated mine village in Greenland / Jørgen Gottlieb. |
| Author(s): | Gottlieb, Jørgen. |
| Date: | 1990. |
| In: | Arctic Medical Research. (1990.), Vol. 49 (1990) |
| Abstract: | 315 people repesented 708 consecutive episodes of illness in one-year period in Maarmorilik. 13% of episodes and 22% of total days of sick leave had origin in occupational complaints, most frequently hearing impairment and back pain. Most common occupational injuries were lesions of eyes, hands and wrists. Only 32% of all occupational episodes were notified to relevant authorities, as work was resumed at least day after injury in 73% of cases. Surveillance of lead concentration in blood worked satisfactorily. Only one employee was suspected victim of lead poisoning. Patients had to be referred for further treatment elsewhere in 14% of cases. |
