Years of Potential Life Lost (1999-2007) • Based on 23,277 deaths • YPLL range 13.5 – 14.1 per death • Average YPLL 13.8 per death • Total YPLL 321,845 • 1999 – 2007; Thus YPLL/year is 35,760
PMRs by Industry & Occupation • Industry • Ship/Boat building and repair 6.0 (2.4-12.3) • Industrial chemicals 4.8 (2.9-7.5) • Petroleum refining 3.8 (1.2-8.9) • Electric light and power 3.1 (1.5-5.7) • Construction 1.6 (1.2-1.9) • Occupation • Plumbers/pipe- & steam-fitters 4.8 (2.8-7.5) • Mechanical engineers 3.0 (1.1-6.6) • Electricians 2.4 (1.3-4.2) • Teachers (elementary school) 2.1 (1.1-3.6)
Anatomical Site (1999-2008) • Data derived from death certificates • Data by anatomical site • Pleura 8.1% • Peritoneum 3.7% • Other 13.6% • Unspecified 75.7% • Data frequently missing (similarly occupation) • Case for electronic health records
Summary • There were almost 26,000 MM deaths among U.S. residents aged >15 years old between 1999 and 2008 and ~350,000 PYLL. • During the same period ~20% of deaths were among women and ~4% were Black. • More than half of which were from 9 States: CA > PA > FL > NY > TX > IL > OH > NJ > MI • Construction accounted for 15% of decedents
