The principal aims of the project are to: quantify the occurrence of ill health in Antarctic personnel. compare the incidence rates with those in the domestic population. assess any trends in health events. identify high risk groups, in order to modify conditions accordingly. assess the role of pre-existing health conditions. examine the causes of injury. quantify the procedures performed and drugs administered. The results of all medical consultations are coded according to the International Classification of Diseases and analysed on both a monthly and an annual basis in order to assess any emerging trends. In addition to serving as a long-term data base for epidemiological studies, the Health Register is proving to be a useful tool in the day-to-day operations of the Polar Medicine Branch of the Australian Antarctic Division. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[62.0, -67.0], [111.0, -67.0], [111.0, -53.0], [62.0, -53.0], [62.0, -67.0]]]} 62.0 111.0 -67.0 -53.0 AMD AMD/AU ANTARCTICA CEOS CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Casey CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Davis CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Mawson CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Summer Camps EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > BOUNDARIES > BOUNDARY SURVEYS EPIDEMIOLOGY GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR HEALTH REGISTER MEDICAL HISTORY MANAGEMENT OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN > All ANARE Ships OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN > HEARD AND MCDONALD ISLANDS OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN > MACQUARIE ISLAND OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN > MACQUARIE ISLAND > Summer Camps PROJECT HOME PAGE documentDigital Public information for ASAC project 12 HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset HTML Creative Commons by Attribution logo documentDigital PNG
