ABSTRACT OF THE WEEK
Veterinarian injuries associated with bovine TB testing livestock in Michigan, 2001.
Thirty-six veterinarians reported a total of 53 injuries (10 major, 12 minor, and 31 self-treated). Hands (29%) and legs (21%) were the anatomic locations most frequently injured, with sprains/strains (30%) and abrasion/contusion (30%) the most common types of injuries sustained. The overall incidence density of injuries was 1.9 per 10,000 animals tested. Female gender, being employed by the government, and smoking were significantly associated with a higher rate of injury. Significant colliniearities were found between some risk factors associated with an increased rate of injury and participants thought 81% of their injuries could have been prevented.
