[Analysis of 1700 compensated cases of noise induced hearing loss in the metal industry (author's transl)].

The files of an occupational insurance association (Berufsgenossenschaft), in that case the Süddeutsche Eisen- und Stahl-Berufsgenossenschaft with 1.4 million insurants, gave the chance to analyse statistically the development of the noise induced hearing loss during about 10 years. As a result of this documentation inter alia it was possible to allocate the compensated cases to the different branches, to investigate the influence of the noise exposition on the hearing loss as well as other audiological data of interest which enable e.g. to compare the different test methods or to estimate on the basis of the pure tone audiogram the probability that a noise induced hearing loss will be compensated.

HMO enrollment: who joins what and why: a review of the literature.

Enrollment in an HMO involves a simultaneous choice of insurance benefits and a provider system. Review of an extensive series of studies shows that breadth of coverage, lower cost, and assured access to benefits are key elements anticipated in the choice. But so too are the perceived limitations inherent in selection of a physician within a close-panel plan, and the inconvenience of centralized sites. For the design and evaluation of future policy, current knowledge based on past enrollment behavior offers only tentative suggestions.
