Nonfatal and fatal firearm injuries in a rural county.

OBJECTIVE: To measure the incidence of fatal and nonfatal firearm injuries in a rural setting. DESIGN: A prospective, population-based surveillance system using information from medical and legal records, newspapers, and members of the community. SETTING: A rural county in North Carolina. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Incidence rates and case-fatality ratios (fatal:non-fatal). RESULTS: Of the 114 firearm injuries detected by the surveillance system from January 1, 1990, through December 31, 1991, nearly two thirds were nonfatal. The overall age-adjusted annual incidence of firearm injuries was 66.4 per 100 000 population, and the incidence of nonfatal firearm injuries was 41.2 per 100 000 population. Subgroup annual incidence rates were greatest for African Americans. The overall case-fatality ratio was 1:1.8 (fatal:nonfatal). CONCLUSIONS: Incidence rates and case-fatality ratios for firearm injury in this rural setting were greater than expected, based on national estimates, perhaps because of greater proportions of rifle injuries and self-inflicted injuries.

[Comparison between ski and snowboarding accidents. Current overview from the ski area Arosa (Switzerland) (1988/89 to 1994/95)].

The ski resort of Arosa (Switzerland) is geographically isolated and has recorded it winter sports accidents since 1969. Based on this reliable data, the ski (3877 in total) and snowboard (512 in total) accidents of the last seven years were statistically analyzed. The study showed that snowboarding isn't much more dangerous than skiing the number of accidents was about the same in both groups, whereas snowboarders were less likely to be admitted to a hospital or to get injured by collision. The average age of snowboarders was 21.6 years, almost 20 years lower than that of the skiers. Both sexes were about equally represented. Most snowboarders had injuries of the upper extremity (14% fractures of the radius, 9% distortions), particularly because of falling backward after losing balance. In both groups (skiers and snowboarders) 60% of all injuries were of low grade, which did not lead to long absence from work. The results are discussed and compared with already existing publications.
