Diferentemente do que ocorre com doen?as n?o ocupacionais, as doen?as relacionadas ao trabalho t?m implica??es legais que atingem a vida dos pacientes e das empresas. Esse estudo teve como objetivo descrever o perfil das LER/DORT notificados no estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, de 2010 a 2014.

A evolu??o que mais predominou entre os casos com este agravo foi a incapacidade tempor?ria (75,68%). Concluiu-se que o SINAN representa uma ?tima base de dados para caracterizar o perfil das LER/DORT, por?m necessitando de uma melhora nos registros tanto de cobertura quanto na qualidade dos dados para o alcance de um melhor monitoramento sistem?tico e um maior planejamento das a??es em Sa?de do Trabalhador. / The increasing prevalence of Repetitive Strain Injury / Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (RSI / MSDs) has been explained by changes in the work that has been characterized by setting goals and productivity.
