To investigate relative frequency and features of diisocyanate (ISO) and non-diisocyanate (N-ISO) allowed occupational asthma (OA) claims in Ontario, Canada, during a 5-year period (1998 to 2002).
Records were abstracted from the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board using methodology similar to our previous investigation that had identified 30 ISO and 30 N-ISO claims/yr during 1980 to 1993.
There were 99 OA claims: 37 ISO (7.4 claims/yr) and 62 N-ISO (12.4 claims/yr). The ISO group had more males (86% vs 69%, p = 0.01), but there were no other significant differences. The commonest professions were spray painters (41%) and production workers (38%) in the ISO group and production workers (49%) and health care workers (8%) in the N-ISO group.
ISO and N-ISO claims declined from the previous period, especially for ISO, perhaps because of effective surveillance programs.
调查在加拿大安大略省的五年期间(1998 年至 2002 年),允许职业性哮喘(OA)的二异氰酸酯(ISO)和非二异氰酸酯(N-ISO)的相对频率和特征。
使用与我们之前的调查类似的方法,从安大略省工作场所安全和保险委员会的记录中提取了记录,该调查在 1980 年至 1993 年期间确定了每年有 30 例 ISO 和 30 例 N-ISO 索赔。
共有 99 例 OA 索赔:37 例 ISO(7.4 例/年)和 62 例 N-ISO(12.4 例/年)。ISO 组中的男性更多(86%对 69%,p = 0.01),但没有其他明显差异。最常见的职业是 ISO 组中的喷涂工(41%)和生产工人(38%)以及 N-ISO 组中的生产工人(49%)和保健工作者(8%)。
与前一时期相比,ISO 和 N-ISO 的索赔有所减少,尤其是 ISO,这可能是由于有效的监视计划。
