Notes:

• (a) At least one precipitating event was given to each case. In some cases, more than one precipitating event was given, therefore the sum total of individual precipitating events will exceed the total number of cases. Figures are shown in light type if they are based on fewer than 10 actual cases.
• (b) Comparisons based on OPRA reports are likely to be misleading because workers in some occupations are much more likely to have access to occupational physicians than those in others.
• (c) Some physicians report on a sample basis, for one month in each year. Estimated totals for these are calculated by multiplying the actual number of cases reported by 12.
• '-' Means zero
• (p) Provisional
