| Popis: | Background Underreporting of occupational diseases (OD) has been quantified, in particular in the United States, but little information is available in other countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate underreporting of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in France in 2009. Methods WecalculatedanindicatorthatapproximatedtheunderreportingrateofMSDin 10 regions of France. Two databases were used: data on OD compensated by insurance fundinganddatafromthesurveillanceprogramforuncompensatedwork-relateddiseases. Analyses were performed for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and elbow, shoulder, and lumbar spine MSD. Results The underreporting rate was estimated at 59% (range 52–64%) for CTS, 73% (range67–79%)forelbowMSD,69%(range63–74%)forshoulderMSD,and63%(range 50–76%) for lumbar spine MSD. Conclusions This study revealed that MSD are substantially underreported in France, as in the United States, despite the differences in workers’ compensation systems. Am. J. Ind.
