Detailed Classification of Agricultural Injuries Mined from Maine PCR Records (2008–2022) Reveals Significant Differences in Injury Source, Event, and Nature by Age Group and Sex
Injury counts rose across each successive study period. All injury subcodes differed significantly by age category, while injury Event and Body Part codes also varied significantly by sex. This suggests that injury risks are not uniform across demographics, and tailored safety interventions by sex and age group may be more effective in reducing agricultural injuries.
