Objective: To determine the Occupational Accidents Subregistry at a selected Family Medicine Unit (FMUX) initially treated at a Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) General Zone Hospital (HGZ) during the year 2002. Materials and Methods: This is a transversal study utilizing information from the original source, the HGZ primary-care hospital-facility. We elaborated a registry permit with diverse information sources, and conducted confrontation, followup, and statistical analysis of these sources. Results: Of 6,551 probable occupational accidents treated at the HGZ Emergency Room, we selected 821 cases ascribed to the selected FMUX. We made up three groups according these dictates: Group I = YES, occupational, 35.4% (290); Group II = NO, occupational, 4.6% (38), and Grupo III = not qualified and treated at the Emergency Room, 60% (493); the latter group represented the occupational accidents registry. Conclusions: The subregistry of 60% is one of the highest reported in the literature, this representing for the IMSS, its workers, and the country of Mexico severe, non-quantified, social and economic repercussions.
