- Abstract
This study compared the injury incidence rates by sex in adult immigrant and native population attended in primary care in the Community of Madrid, Spain. Cross-sectional study of injuries registered in the primary care electronic medical record in 2012. Crude and age-adjusted incidence rates by sex, region of birth and type of injury were calculated. Poisson regression was performed. In both sexes, the highest crude injury incidence rate was found in immigrants from North Africa, followed by the native population. After controlling for age and socioeconomic-status, the highest risk of injury in immigrants was observed in burns in women from North-African (79%) and in foreign body injuries in men from Latin America and Caribbean, Sub-Saharan and North Africa and Central and Eastern Europe (61-123%). The analysis by region of origin has identified people from North Africa as a particularly vulnerable group.
