“…Regarding age category, it is observed that workers who are minors suffer from musculoskeletal disorders in both developed (USA, Finland and Sweden) and developing countries (India and Nepal) [22,[75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83]. In older workers, these disorders are directly related to low levels of training, inexperience and poor working conditions (Thailand, the Solomon Islands, Italy and the USA) [84][85][86][87].…”

Musculoskeletal Disorders in Agriculture: A Review from Web of Science Core Collection

Agricultural workers suffer from many work-related illnesses. Some of the most common include musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These types of disorders are caused by diverse factors. This research study intends to demonstrate the worldwide concern for MSD in agriculture. The objective is to compile and recognize in detail all the available studies on musculoskeletal disorders in agriculture developed in the world and by countries in the last 26 years. The Web of Science database was used for this purpose. Two hundred and fifty-six documents were found, of which 221 were finally selected for inclusion in the study. The studies span a period from 1995 to 2020. Of these, studies that were linked to improving sustainability stood out. Most of the research of this type emanates from developed countries. The conclusions to be drawn are that few countries pay attention to this area and that preventive measures are insufficient. Mechanization and improvement in work methods and organization are methods to reduce risks.

“…The expert consensus of healthcare professionals working in MLICs considered a delay of three months before access to medical care acceptable for the vast majority of musculoskeletal conditions, taking into consideration the increased risk of longterm clinical complications associated with prolonged (more than three months) delay. 4 A literature search on delays in the treatment of common paediatric orthopaedic cases in children resulted in no one study covering the topic of delays in a comprehensive manner. There were, however, numerous reports describing the effects of starting treatment for the common paediatric orthopaedic conditions at different ages.…”

Purpose To explore safe delays for the treatment of common paediatric orthopaedic conditions when faced with a life-threatening pandemic, COVID-19, and to propose a categorization system to address this question. Methods Review of the literature related to acceptable delays for treatment of common orthopaedic conditions, experience of healthcare professionals from low resource communities and expertise of experienced surgeons. Results Guidelines for the management of cancellations of elective surgeries during a period of resource reallocation are proposed. Elective cases must not be postponed indefinitely as adverse outcomes may result. Triage of waiting lists should include continuous monitoring of the patient and close communication with families despite social distancing and travel restrictions. Telehealth becomes a necessity. Common orthopaedic conditions are triaged into four groups according to urgency and safe and acceptable delay. Categories proposed are Emergent (life and limb threatening conditions), Urgent (within seven days), Semi-elective (postponed for three months) and Elective (postponed for three to 12 months). In total, 25 common orthopaedic conditions are reviewed and categorized. Conclusion Given the uncertainty within healthcare during a pandemic, it is necessary to determine acceptable delays for elective conditions. We report our experience in developing guidelines and propose categorizing elective cases into four categories, based on the length of delay. Telemedicine plays a key role in determining the gravity of each situation and hence the amount of delay. These guidelines will assist others dealing with elective cases in the midst of a crisis. This paper initiates a coordinated effort to develop a consensus statement on safe delays. Published without peer review.
