OBJECTIVE
The Ontario Work-Related Asthma Surveillance System: Physician Reporting (OWRAS) Network was established in 2007 to estimate the prevalence of work-related asthma (WRA) in Ontario, and to test the feasibility of collecting data for cases of WRA from physicians voluntarily.
METHODS
More than 300 respirologists, occupational medicine physicians, allergists and primary care providers in Ontario were invited to participate in monthly reporting of WRA cases by telephone, postal service or e-mail.
RESULTS
Since 2007, 49 physicians have registered with the OWRAS Network and, to date, have reported 34 cases of occupational asthma and 49 cases of work-exacerbated asthma. Highly reactive chemicals were the most frequently reported suspected causative agent of the 108 suspected exposures reported.
CONCLUSION
Despite the challenge of enlisting a representative sample of physicians in Ontario willing to report, the OWRAS Network has shown that it is feasible to implement a voluntary reporting system for WRA; however, its long-term sustainability is currently unknown.
目的
安大略省与工作相关的哮喘监测系统：医师报告（OWRAS）网络于 2007 年成立，旨在估计安大略省与工作相关的哮喘（WRA）的患病率，并测试从医师那里自愿收集 WRA 病例数据的可行性。
方法
安大略省的 300 多名呼吸科医师、职业医学医师、过敏科医师和初级保健提供者受邀通过电话、邮寄或电子邮件每月报告 WRA 病例。
结果
自 2007 年以来，已有 49 名医师在 OWRAS 网络注册，迄今为止，已报告了 34 例职业性哮喘和 49 例工作加重性哮喘。高反应性化学物质是报告的 108 例疑似暴露中最常报告的疑似致病剂。
结论
尽管在安大略省招募愿意报告的医师代表样本存在挑战，但 OWRAS 网络已表明实施 WRA 自愿报告系统是可行的；然而，其长期可持续性目前尚不清楚。
