Abstract：
BACKGROUND: This study analyzes the incidence rate and median workdays missed due to foot and ankle injuries across age groups, sexes, and industries.
METHODS: Workplace injury data from 2003 to 2019 were obtained using the Nonfatal Cases Involving Day Away from Work: Selected Characteristics database provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The data were grouped by injury location (ie, foot, ankle), injury type (ie, fracture, sprain), and industry, and reported with injury incidence rates and median workdays missed.
RESULTS: The incidence rate of foot and ankle injuries significantly decreased from 2003 to 2019 (P < .001). With increasing age, the incidence rate of foot and ankle injuries decreased (P < .001) and median workdays missed increased (P < .001). Men had significantly higher rates of foot and ankle injuries (P < .001). Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting (foot=10.23%, ankle=10.41%); construction (foot=8.14%, ankle=8.68%); and transportation and warehousing (foot=11.06%, ankle=13.80%) industries had the highest injury incidence rates. Transportation and warehousing (foot=16.8 days, ankle=16.3 days), mining (foot=44.9 days, ankle=17.1 days), and utilities (foot=26.7 days, ankle=24.4 days) industries had the highest median workdays missed.
CONCLUSIONS: Increased incidence and severity of workplace foot and ankle injuries are associated with male sex and heavy labor industries. Age was positively associated with severity and negatively associated with incidence of workplace ankle injuries.
UNASSIGNED: Level III, Retrospective cohort study.

摘要：
背景：这项研究分析了各年龄组因脚和脚踝受伤而错过的发病率和中位工作日，性别,和工业。
方法：2003年至2019年的工作场所伤害数据是使用劳工统计局（BLS）提供的非致命病例涉及工作日：选定特征数据库获得的。数据按损伤位置分组(即，脚,脚踝),伤害类型(即，骨折,扭伤),和工业，并报告了损伤发生率和错过的中位工作日。
结果：从2003年到2019年，足踝部损伤的发生率显着降低（P<.001）。随着年龄的增长,足和踝关节损伤的发生率降低（P<.001），中位工作日错过的发生率增加（P<.001）。男性的足和踝关节损伤发生率明显较高(P<.001)。农业,林业,钓鱼,和狩猎(英尺=10.23%，脚踝=10.41%)；建筑(足=8.14%，脚踝=8.68%）；以及运输和仓储（英尺=11.06%，踝关节=13.80%)行业伤害发生率最高。运输和仓储（英尺=16.8天，脚踝=16.3天)，采矿(英尺=44.9天，脚踝=17.1天)，和公用事业(英尺=26.7天，脚踝=24.4天）行业的平均工作日数最高。
结论：工作场所足部和踝关节损伤的发生率和严重程度增加与男性和重工行业有关。年龄与严重程度呈正相关，与工作场所踝关节损伤的发生率呈负相关。
■三级,回顾性队列研究。
