Letters ries; everyday interactions with chairs produce 95 times more set, and related documentation, is available to the general hospital visits; and injuries from unintentional bites and stings public. The patient case narratives we used are not available are over 380 times more prevalent in emergency depart- on the public use data set because of preexisting rules of non- ments than tanning bed mishaps. These comparisons to trau- disclosure and confidentiality provisions agreed upon by all mas caused by physical objects are relevant because many of federal participants funding the NEISS-AIP. the reported tanning bed injuries were not related to UV light As noted in our article, we used a text mining process on but to physical equipment. the patient case narratives with explicit and objective inclu- It is disappointing that the CDC will not release its data sion and exclusion criteria to ensure that included cases rep- when all appearances suggest that the research may not have resented injuries attributable to indoor tanning. Cases were ini- been accurately portrayed. tially selected using a keyword search. Each case narrative was reviewed and classified by 3 study researchers to confirm that Gregory Kohs, MA the injuries were attributable to indoor
