K. pneumoniae is second only to E. coli in causing bacteremia secondary to a UTI.(3) Laboratory identification: Microscopically, K. pneumoniae organisms appear as medium-sized gram-. negative bacilli. Due to polysaccharide capsule production, colonies appear mucoid on solid agar media.
Medical costs for nonfatal injuries and illnesses combined are $10.65294 billion. The injuries-to-total ratio is 1,625,152/1,713,009 = 0.9487118 or 94.87118%. Multiplying the latter with costs for both nonfatal injury and illness equals $10.106569 billion for injuries and (remainder) $0.546371 billion for illnesses.
BLS also makes it clear that hand injuries arenât cheap: âThe average hand injury claim has now exceeded $6,000, with each lost-time workersâ compensation claim reaching nearly $7,500.â Furthermore, hand injury costs can vary greatly by the injury type. Stitches can run up to $2,000. A laceration can cost as much as $10,000. And a severed tendon can easily cost more than $70,000. The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery did a study on the frequency, cost of treatment, and lost productivity from hand and wrist injuries and found the following: â¢ Hand and wrist injuries cost the most compared to other emergency department injuries at $740 million a year (knee and lower limb fractures cost $562 million annually, skull-brain injuries cost $355 million, and hip fractures cost $532 million)
