Record #104571:

The 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.
