Justifi cativa e Objetivos: Identifi car os possíveis casos de internação hospitalar devido a acidentes e agravos relacionados ao trabalho, traçando o perfi l dos pacientes internados em sua decorrência, em Hospital de ensino do Sul do Brasil, entre 2008 e 2010. Método: Estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, do tipo documental, no qual os dados foram coletados em 40 prontuários de pacientes internados no período de janeiro de 2008 a dezembro de 2010. Após a coleta de dados, realizou-se busca dos casos considerados relacionados ao trabalho no Sistema de Notifi cação em Saúde do Trabalhador (SIST). Resultados: Dos 40 prontuários analisados, apenas 1 (2,5%) havia registro de acidente de trabalho. Em 45%, verifi cou-se que informações descritas sugeriam nexo entre o trabalho e a internação. Entre as internações identifi cadas como relacionadas ao trabalho, 80% ocorreram com homens e 89% dos casos tiveram alta melhorada. Um evoluiu a óbito e em um prontuário o campo desfecho não estava preenchido. Conclusão: O estudo mostrou a realidade de não estabelecimento do nexo causal entre a ocupação laboral e o acometimento à saúde dos pacientes, resultando em não investigação da doença ou acidente relacionado ao trabalho, o que contribui para o panorama de subnotifi cação dos agravos. Rationale and Objectives: To identify possible cases of hospitalization due to work-related accidents and injuries, establishing the profile of patients admitted to a teaching hospital in southern Brazil between 2008 and 2010. Method: A descriptive, retrospective documental study, of which data were collected from 40 medical records of patients admitted between January 2008 and December 2010. After data collection we conducted a search of work-related cases from the Workers' Health Notification System (SIST). Results: Of the 40 reviewed records, only 1 (2.5%) contained a work-related accident record. In 45% of them, the information provided suggested an association between work and hospitalization.Among hospitalizations identified as work-related, 80% occurred with men and 89% of cases were discharged after improvement. One individual died and the outcome was not described in another record. Conclusion:The study showed the reality of not establishing a causal link between work and health problems of patients, resulting in the absence of investigation of work-related illnesses or accidents, which contributes to the panorama of injury underreporting.
